I am looking to upgrade the ram in my PC from 8 to 16 gigs, now according to the manual for me motherboard the ram speeds that are supported are 2133-2400 but if i use pc partpickers compatability mode it says that 3000MHz will work. Is this true. My motherboard is a MSI B250i Pro.

B250 can only go up to 2400 

If you get 3000 , it's not like it won't work 

But it will be set to the default speed of ddr4 

Which is 2400 or the maximum capabilities of this board.

JEDEC DDR4 base speed is 2133MHz.

I frequently edit any posts you may quote; please check for anything I 'may' have added.

 

Did you test boot it, before you built in into the case?

WHY NOT...?!

Some have a base of 2400

Either way it will be set to 2400.

So it will work. it will just run at a lower clock speed than its rated for?
