Can RAM go over their advertised speed?

Yes of course, their advertised speed is just the guaranteed speed.

Corsair CM4X8GD3000C16K4D

This is a 3000MHz CL16 kit... Just turning on XMP, maybe manually select 3000MHz (depending on motherboard) and you'll get that settings loaded.

Simple question, I have 16gb of ram at the moment, but its slow 2133mh Crucial RAM and i'd very much like to increase it, this is due to how as things seem to be, in the future i think ram speed is going to be very important.

 I have also recently upgrade my PC and would kinda just like to make it as good as possible.

What kind of RAM and how much should i get?

 

Cheers

Try overclock it first? I know you can find Micron 2133MHz kits that clock just as well as their 3200MHz CL16 kits for example

CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1
