[SOLVED] 2400 mhz rams on intel i5-9400F build

[martinezkier.dacoville]

Good day, I have a couple of 8 GB 2400 mhz ddr4 generic green pcb rams from my current rig my question is can i still use these on an i5-9400F + B360M build? or should i buy a new 2666 mhz ddr4 branded rams? would there be issues if i use the old ones?if so would it damage the board? Thank you.

You can use them. B-series motherboards support up to 2666MHz, meaning you can run RAM anywhere between the 2133MHz low and the 2666MHz high. Are they the same specs? You would have a difficult time running different sticks with different timings. But if they are the same and especially if they came in a pair together they should work fine.

That RAM is fine. 1.2V DDR4 is the lowest voltage DDR4 and will not have any problems with heat. Most DDR4 RAM does not need heat spreaders, they just look nice.
