^Your actual CPU and motherboard might not be able to run stable if its very high speed, set to its max speed, usually above about 3200, which is the spec AMD set for Zen+/Ryzen 2000 (there are a few ram kits and motherboard combos that can exceed this, but don't expect to if its not on the QVL), so you might have to downclock it if you want it running faster then default 2133 it would set itself to if it didn't have success loading XMP.  If you knew how or could get somebody to help you downclock properly if need be, im sure it could work at say 3000-3200 speed, just very unlikely to work at say 3600mhz if its a 3600mhz kit, with Ryzen 2000 CPU.  

you never mentioned what speed though

my motherboard in question (asrock b450 pro4) can run a max speed of 3200mhz. my thinking it would be smart to future proof myself my getting a kit of 3200mhz, and if it cant handle it properly, just, downgrade the speed, until i can upgrade. just makes it so its one less thing i have to think about
