Question Hi there, I'm going to upgrade my RAM, from 8GB 2400MHz to 2666MHz, but my mbo supports up to 2400MHz, will there be any issues?

Basically going to buy 2x 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2666MHz. But I'm just wondering if this will create any issues as my mbo supports up to 2400MHz.

Thank you.

What motherboard and cpu are you using?

I'm using a Gigabyte H110M-S2H and an i5-6400 at 3.2GHz

With that combo your ram will only run at DDR4 2133 speeds. To run at DDR4 2400 you'd need a 7th gen cpu.
