Motherboard speed cpu?

[Stuffyocean]

Ok so my motherboard I plan on buying says the max speed is 2400mhz does that mean if I have a CPU that has 3700mhz that it won't run over 2400mhz ? Should I choose a different motherboard?

That is the maximum RAM speed supported by the mobo. The CPU will still run at 3.7GHz.
