Incompatible ram?

[abccool2020]

I am just now realizing this as I put my ram into my MOBO. I check the MOBO website https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132855, and my ram website(RAM that came with my pre-built ) https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4M578A2771&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Memory+(Desktop+Memory)-_-9SIA4M578A2771&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtZzWBRD2ARIsAIPenY2n60HhpizAjvvzomsdbVTMDdC98BFsYCL9SSgHntbqx6dgXnYAX8waAmy-EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds. On my MOBO it says DDR4 3600+(OC)/ 3466(OC) and my ram is 2133MHZ. Does this mean I have to buy new ram?

No, the ram will run at 2133MHz speed but the board supports up to 3600 speed RAM, once overclocked.

It should work just fine

No not at all. DDR4 is DDR4 as long as its Non-ECC desktop ram. Youll be fine. Ive had a DDR3 1600MHz motherboard before with 1333MHz RAM.

Oh ok thank you

Nope, 2133MHz RAM will work fine on that motherboard. 

 

By the way, the second link is broken (for me at least).
