I can find no evidence online to suggest that 1600MHz memory will fail
at 1066MHz for example, but plenty of people saying "of course you can

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.

If you want me to get your point, you can explain it better, otherwise I will continue to believe what I've read on websites about faster memory working just fine.

Pay attention to the difference between registered memory and
unregistered memory.

Ah, so you mean only registered memory must be the right speed? Why didn't you say so? Do elaborate....
