Question Question about Ram

[ImpureVindication]

So I was looking to upgrade my desktop from its current 8GB of ram to 16GB or 32GB. My motherboard is a Intel H470, Listed online it states:

Dual channel memory architecture (One DIMM per channel)
Two DDR4 UDIMM (288-pin) sockets
Supports up to PC4-23400 (DDR4-2933)
Supports 4 GB and 8 GB DDR4 UDIMMs

Supports up to 4 GB on 32-bit systems
NOTE: 32-bit systems cannot address a full 4.0 GB of memory.

Supports up to 32 GB (unbuffered) with two 16 GB DIMMs on 64-bit systems
NOTE: Maximum memory shown reflects the capability of the hardware and can be limited further in the operating system.

I have a Windows 11 OS on 64-bit. The ram installed from the manufactuer is a HMA81GU6DJR8N-XN - SK Hynix 1x 8GB DDR4-3200 UDIMM PC4-25600U, which goes above the listed specifications. I've ordered a
A-Tech 8GB DDR4 2666 MHz UDIMM PC4-21300 (PC4-2666V) CL19 DIMM Non-ECC Desktop RAM to go with it, which fits the specifications of my computer. My computer also does not even let my memory go past 2667MHz. Any help on clearing up this confusion for me would be greatly appreciated.

Your ram won't go higher then the listed lower speed ram without oc so you have to oc yourself... This isn't recommended it can and most likely will fry one or both sticks. Your luck to have a PC that post as well due to mismatch ram doesn't normally like each other which is why they get sold as a known good pair together
