Hi!

I have the same RAM and just posted about an issue with clock speed on it but that's for me only. Yes it is safe, and it wont damage anything or void warranty. When you install DDR4 RAM it sets it to a default 2133 or 2400. To get to the advertised clock speed you should enable XMP in the BIOS. XMP is a profile of specific settings for your RAM model specifically, to maximise the performance. You can further increase performance manually as an overclock but that is for later :)
