Your memory rated for 3000 MHz is basically an "overclock profile" saved in XMP. If you apply the XMP profile, it will technically overclock your memory, but it's factory-tested for that so should work.

Z270 motherboards allow uncapped ram speeds, 3000MHz is pretty common for a setup like this.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
