Hello good people,
I'm new in PC building and tweaking and I've got a question about the RAM frequency, and which I should set.

My MoBo is Gigabyte GA-A320-S2H V2, which supports DDR4 3200(O.C.)/2933(O.C.)/2667*/2400/2133 MHz and I have Corsair Vengeance LPX 1x8GB 2400 CL16 RAM. I couldn't found my RAM in my MoBo memory support, however I found a kit of 2x8GB with same specs and almost same module P/Ns (CMK8... vs CMK16...), so I suppose it's the same RAM, just as a kit. Under the "Native" collumn, is 2133 MHz. My BIOS automatically set the frequency to 2400 MHz.
My CPU is AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and I'm not planning to overclock anything for now

To the questions:
What is that native frequency?
Should I let the BIOS setting or should I manually set it to 2133 MHz to prevent any damage?

Thank you
 
Solution
2400mhz is frequency of your ram.
Your motherboard can run 2400mhz ram without overclocking.

So 2400mhz is the right frequency, you should use. No need to lower it to 2133mhz (unless you experience some issue).
