Downgrade RAM speed

[Kikawa_21]

I was looking for a b350 mobo and I couldn't find one which supported 3000mhz ram, only 2666mhz, 2933mhz and 3200mhz. The thing is, I want to use a 2x4gb 3000mhz CL15, because if I go for the 3200mhz I have to get CL16, and going with 2666mhz is too "slow" for  the Ryzen 5 2400g that I'm planning to use in my build. So my question is, can I slow down the RAM clock speed from 3000mhz to 2933mhz?

Yes you can underclock in the BIOS, you will not get 2933mhz exact. As it is step speed.

step speed? What's that? It will still work with, let's say this mobo ( https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B350-PC-MATE.html )?

You can get Asrock ab350 pro4 or Asus b350-f both should support up to 3200 mhz ram if i am not mistake. And both are decent boards.

yeah, i know those boards, but they do not support 3000mhz RAM.
