Ram Question

[Peroginator]

Hey guys, i'm build a new computer using an ASUS z170 S Sabertooth motherboard, which says it supports up to 2400mhz DDR4 Ram. My question is, i've seen a couple videos where people run faster memory in it, so if i buy some 3200mhz RAM for this build, will it work? the ram im looking at is Corsair Vengeance LPX white, 4x8gb. the 3200mhz is actually cheaper than the 2666mhz on amazon, which is why i'm thinking of getting it. Thanks for the help, i'm a semi new builder, i've built one system in the past but don't remember every having to worry about my ram speed.

If your motherboard does not support a faster RAM speed, the RAM module will just run at a lower clock speed.

Ram will just down clock to 2400. If it's cheaper then get it, it's fine

Z-chipsets can usually run faster RAM. Does it say O.C. or OC next to the RAM frequencies?
