Question Intel Xeon E-2146G with the Asus WS C246 PRO, and 3200Mhz ECC RAM

[ArcticWind]

The Intel Xeon E-2146G supports max 2666Mhz RAM, but on https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/aSUS/ws-c246-pro they lists the Micron 16GB DDR4-3200 ECC UDIMM 1Rx8 CL22 as compatible.

How will it work to run the 3200Mhz ram with that MB and CPU?

The memory will run at DDR4-2666Mhz regardless of what frequency ram kit you drop into that platform. Essentially DDR4-3200MHz rams will be downclocked to DDR4-2666MHz.

Thank you very much. Just checked my 9700K and it also only supports 2666Mhz, but I've 3200Mhz ram which is overclocked to 3600Mhz I think.

Ordered: 2x Kingston Server Premier - DDR4 - module - 16 GB - DIMM 288-pin - 2666 MHz / PC4-21300 - registered with parity - ECC, instead.

Edit: Not compatible. Need unbuffered.
