[SOLVED] i9-9900k

[hydrabg]

can i use i9-9900k or i7-8700k with 2400hz ddr4 ram.

You can but it will hold back the high quality processing power of the cpu. It would be like putting regular gas in an F1 racing car. I would use at least 3200mhz memory with those cpu's.

technically the 9900K is only rated for 2666 memory speeds but the IMC (integrated memory controller) can do way more than that. But anything higher than 2666 is considered overclocking, so your mileage may vary depending on how far you want to push it and the quality of the IMC

Yes, you can.
And, you will not likely see any adverse performance issues.
The first thing you want from ram is to have enough.
