So I'm about to buy a motherboard (gigabyte H310M S2P) which specified with 2666 mhz dual channel RAM support, 9th/8th gen LGA 1151 cpu support, and I'm gonna buy a core i3-9100F cpu which supports maximum 2400 mhz of the RAM speed.
The question is, first of all does a 2400 mhz ram would match up with the motherboard, I mean the speed "2666 mhz" of ram support for motherboard, is that a maximum number or a specific number which means I'm only allowed to buy 2666 mhz ram and not lower or higher?
Second question: If I buy a 2666 mhz ram, would my cpu support only 2400 mhz of that or is it just dont work together??
Third question: Is even my 2400 mhz of ram support cpu, would match up with my 2666 mhz of ram support motherboard? I mean first of all I just wanna know if my motherboard and cpu would match together, then if they do, what kind of ram should I get?

From your MB specs>>>
Support for DDR4 2666/2400/2133 MHz memory modules

": If I buy a 2666 mhz ram, would my cpu support only 2400 mhz of that or is it just dont work together?? "
I think it would probably run at 2400 MHz.

"Is even my 2400 mhz of ram support cpu, would match up with my 2666 mhz of ram support motherboard? I mean first of all I just wanna know if my motherboard and cpu would match together, then if they do, what kind of ram should I get? "

The i3-9100F is on Gigabyte's CPU list for that MB.

Make sure you are using BIOS F12 or later.

I would just get 2400 speed RAM with that CPU and make sure you are using BIOS F12 or later and you...
