Can you replace DDR4 2666 with DDR4 3600?

Yes. Will it run at 3600? Depends. We need more info about board and CPU to answer that.

My Motherboard is a GIGABYTE Z370 HD3 (Intel LGA1151/ Z370/ ATX/ M.2/ Intel LAN/ ALC892/ HDMI

My CPU is Intel Core i5-8600K Desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 4.3 GHz unlocked LGA 1151 300 Series 95W

Yes, you should be good up to DDR4-4000 on that motherboard.

Thank you very much,

But be aware that according to the Gigabyte specs on their site, anything over 2666 will be overclocking.

 

[Selannii]

Hmm. Ok. Thank you. I think I will return it and get the 2666.

Actually for Intel anything above 2133 Mhz will be overclocking. 3200 Mhz is not extreme overclocking, and it would be fine.
