The motherboard supports DDR-4000 memory and the CPU details says DDR4-2666 but that is for ECC memory. Does the CPU still have to support the memory if its DDR4-4000 non ecc memory? Will it not operate, or downgrade to 2666?
That should be irrelevant considering this would apply to all motherboard and CPU's. Looking at Intel boards and CPU's

Irrelevant? How do you expect to get a accurate answer if your not willing to say what your using for all we know your looking at something wrong!That should be irrelevant considering this would apply to all motherboard and CPU's. Looking at Intel boards and CPU's
Well if it's Intel and it has ECC support it's got to be some type of workstation or server cpu as they don't officially support ECC ram on consumer products (at least that I am aware of). If that is the case then I have no idea if non ecc or higher clocked memory is supported.
In any case, the best bet when looking at memory compatibility is to look up the specific motherboard memory QVL testing notes, as different cpu and motherboard combos get differing results and may work but at reduced speeds vs the rating, or at modified timings.
Edit: Also motherboard type is important (again especially for Intel) as Intel cap memory frequency on their lower end boards. On the consumer side it's only the high end Z series boards that support 'overclocked' memory (i.e. memory higher than the CPU's officially supported speed).
Motherboard doesn't support ECC.Good to know, this is one setup i am considering though the cpu does not support ECC
