Posted April 6, 2020 So I'm on a pretty tight budget here and I'm currently looking at RAM and Mobos. The CPU I have chosen is the Intel i5 9600KF (which supports up to 2666MHz) but the motherboard which I'm looking to buy is 2400/2133MHz, but it supports XMP. So my question is can I buy a 2666MHz RAM and use it. Are there any risks or potential wear on certain parts and stuff like that.

Posted April 6, 2020 Don't buy a 9600K. It's not worth the money as the R5 3600 is better in almost every way possible. Not to mention the Ryzen CPU runs cooler, uses less power and has better security Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
