Question about RAM

[mrahmat]

I am building a new PC I already bought asrock b360m pro4 mobo with i5 8400 cpu P.S: is this a good combo?

the mobo details says upto 2666 MHz RAM but my question is can I buy higher than that and still use it? I have found a deal where the 3200 MHz is cheaper than 2666 MHz both of them are CL15

the RAM is on sale and only 1 pack of 2x8gb is left in stock so I am in a rush if anyone can let me know faster

thanks

Yes you should be able to.  It will boot at 2666 though.  Doublecheck the list of supported RAM for that board on Asrock's website to be sure.

I checked the list and it was really short, the maximum bandiwth module on that list was 2666 MHz

Then there is no guarantee, but I am betting it will work.  Just hold on to your receipt...
