Question How compatible is my motherboard and CPU with a 3600 DDR4 RAM?

[The Requiem]

So my motherboard and CPU are a bit old. My motherboard is Gigabyte B450M S2H and my CPU is Ryzen 5 2600. According to my motherboard's specification, it should support DDR4 3600(O.C.)/3466(O.C.)/2933/2667/2400/2133 and according to my CPU, the system memory specification is up to 2933MT/s. So the issue is, I can't find modern RGB RAMS that are 2933 specifically and I get more options in 3600. I am aiming for 2x16GB XPG Spectrix D35G. So my questions are regarding the compatibility and bottlenecks.

1. Will the RAM sticks run?
2. If they run, is there any danger?
3. If they run, what would the bottleneck be? Will they perform at 2933? Are there any other drawbacks or bottlenecks other than them running at 2933?
4. Will XMP be a thing and if so, is there anything I should be aware of?
5. Considering my motherboard, will the RGB on RAMS work and be controlled easily by RGB Software like Fusion RGB, iCue, etc without any controller?

Thanks in advance!

Your B450 chipset should allow you to dial in manual dram settings if the XMP profile does not run properly.

The RGB RAM will typically be controlled by the RAM manufacturer's software without a dedicated controller.

The page you linked states the speeds are 3200 / 3600 MTs. So, it should have an XMP for 3200 that you can use if 3600 does not work properly.

Thank you for your response. You mentioned that the pages I linked state speeds that are 3200/ 3600 MT/s but the page for my CPU states 2933 MT/s . So other than manual DRAM settings for XMP or just disabling XMP altogether, what are the drawbacks and bottlenecks that I could be facing?

There's really no drawbacks other than XMP possibly not working, in which case you would have to use manual timings if you didn't want to run the default 2133.

Any chance you could drop in a new CPU? A 5600GT or 4500?
Then you could grab a 3600 MT/s kit

I am not planning on upgrading the CPU anytime soon. It will be the last of my upgrade after I am done buying GPU.
