Motherboard Memory Support Question

[IceBleu]

Just a quick question. I know this has been answered probably a few times but the questions that were already asked aren't asked exactly how I want to ask it and the answers don't necessarily mean that they cover my question.

Anyways,

For example, the B250M MORTAR ARCTIC mobo supports DDR4-2400 max but does that mean it has to be 2400 or can I go higher? I understand that it will only work at 2400mhz but can I still use a higher grade card?

It'll probably go down to a speed it supports. If you get ram thats too high

You can go higher but the fastest it will run on the board is 2400. Unless you plan to someday replace the board with a Z270 that can run the faster memory buying anything faster than 2400mhz is a waste of money.
