Need Help Understanding Memory Overclocking

I'm looking at the MSI B350 M Gaming board and it's RAM is stated as this:

1866/ 2133/ 2400/ 2667(OC)/ 2933(OC)/ 3200(OC)+ MHz

 

If I install a 2400 RAM does this mean I can overclock it to 2667 or higher, or do the RAMs have to be at the desired frequency I want to overclock to? So this means I should install a 3200 RAM and overclock it at the BIOS?

no, it means it will accept ram at specified speed. but if you had ram of a 3200 speed your motherboard will accept this higher over clocked speed.

 

also some ram can be overclocked faster than there stated speed but this is varies per ram quality.
