Intel cpu specs' officially supported ram speed is a safe speed for compatibility and isn't a limit. That spec can be ignored and what you have is fine.

As for the memory size, that's a limit you should pay attention to.

Hi,
Are You Saying I Can Use RAM Speed Up To Motherboard Supporting Speed?

You can run RAM at 3200MHz, the processor will just see it as an overclock.
