Asus H170 Pro gaming DDR4 2400Mhz RAM Support?

[CryCeti]

Sooo i have been looking around and saw this h170 motherboard for my build :
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H170-PRO-GAMING/specifications/

if you look at the specifications, it says :
4 x DIMM, Max. 64GB, DDR4 2133 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory

I took a look at some other Z170 boards and they write 2400mhz all the way to 3000 (Assumption)

So my question is can the motherboard support 2400mhz sticks of ram?

They will run at 2133 as that's the fastest the board supports. If you want faster ram you'll need a z170 board.

So it's useless to buy 2400mhz sticks?

For the most part.
