I can find no evidence online to suggest that 1600MHz memory will fail

I didn't say the memory will fail, I said it may not meet the system
timing.

Which would cause it to fail memtest, and cause crashes.

I don't need to prove otherwise its just a fact.

You need to show a datasheet from a memory manufacturer and explain why
a timing could end up being out of spec by running it slower.


I don't need to do any such thing.
If you want to look into it then you can.
Pay attention to the difference between registered memory and
unregistered memory.
