So I'm looking at getting more RAM, and am confused about how it will work with my CPU.
Currently I have 2 sticks 2666 CL16 ram on an i5-8600 that, according to Intel's spec sheet on ark, supports up to 2666.
If I upgrade to a kit of 2x 4000 CL18, for example, will it be slower since it will downclock to 2666 with CL18 timings? I won't be getting the benefit of the 4000 mhz frequency, right?
I'm upgrading mainly for capacity, but figure that some sort of "future-proofing" might as well be done by buying something higher frequency.
