Will 3000mhz ram work on b360 board

[Vikkun]

So recently the ram prices here and quite low and 2400 mhz and 3000 mhz ram are almost of same prize. Ram is corsair vengeance 8gb ddr4 2400/3000 mhz 

 

I am using the b360m ds3h motherboard and i read somewhere that in b360 board the maximum clock speed can be 2666 mhz for ram but the ram are quite cheap and i want to buy one so should i go for 3000 mhz or default 2400 mhz

No. That board will only support up to 2666 and no higher.

Yes, it'll work but it will not run at 3000MHz since B360 only supports up to 2666MHz.

2666 is still more than 2400 

Will there be any problem if i use that 3000 mhz one?

So should i buy 3000 mhz as 2666 is still higher than 2400 mhz. 

Will it cause any strain in motherboard or something like that?

there will be no problem it will just run at 2666. for intel ram speed doesnt matter, makes no difference(maybe like a <1% performance difference?)

you can always buy 2666mhz

I would just buy whichever RAM is cheapest out of the two. For Intel CPUs RAM speed doesn't really matter that much.

The difference in money is just 1 or 2 dollars and i see, thanks~

Well then i will be buying 3000 mhz one 

Thanks~

Alright~

The only reason you should consider getting a 3000mhz kit over a 2666mhz kit, is to get a memory IC that is binned higher. This could potentially give you lower timings with tweaking but honestly, isn't worth it. Just get a 2666 kit or get a 2133/2400 and overclock.

So there is no point in buying 3000 mhz one and i should go for 2400 mhz one?

Yes, unless you want that higher bin that could let you get slightly lower timings that wouldn't really do that much at all. (plus you would have to manually change it)

Alright then i would search in local markets as well as 2400 and 3000 mhz ram prices are same in online. 

Thanks~

If the prices are the same just get the 3000mhz kit, it will be a higher bin.

Got it~
