b450 gaming plus max Help on matching ram

[surms]

Hi there. I'm building my first system and I've decided to use ryzen 5 3600. I've managed to buy on sale MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max. According to MSI page it supports RAM up to 4133 MHz but if you get to the specification it does not specify 3600 MHz. Below I've listed my questions.

 

1. Taking into account that specification does not list directly 3600 MHz as supported frequency should I buy ram with lower frequency and lower cl (e.g. 3200 MHz CL14)?

2. Have anyone of you actually run this mobo with 3600MHz ram? 

3. Should I consider returning this mobo and buying something different? If I should then what are your suggestions for different board?

1) buy either 2x8gb 3600mhz cl 16 memory or 2x8gb 3200mhz cl 14 memory. The 3200mhz cl 14 memory is very expensive.

2) if is supports up to 4133mhz it will support 3600mhz

3)go with that mobo

3200mhz memory: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-CMW16GX4M2C3200C14-Vengeance-PC4-25600-Desktop/dp/B07G8Q7QPY/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=3200mhz+c14&qid=1574618271&sr=8-3
