locked 10th gen CPUs still have a memory speed cap on B560. OP is on Z370, though. I don't know of any artificial cap with i5-8600 and Z370.

My recommendation would also be to go for DDR4-3200 CL16. It's one of the more common and therefore cheaper options available, and will provide plenty of performance for your CPU.
