Ram latencies in h270 motherboards

[Spcrab]

Hello, I am starting to configure a PC setup and I have some doubts. I plan to get a h270 chipset gaming motherboard that allows xmp profiling on RAM (msi h270 gaming m3). I also plan to get a i5 7600 (non-K version) and a couple of ddr4 modules of 16GB

Now my questions are:
1. Can I manually change the latencies of the ram, without changing the frequency (which means I am overclocking the ram) with that setup? I know that can get into unstable memory.
2. Attending to the theory, RAM that is labelled to work at 3000MHz with CL16 should be able to run at 2400MHz with CL13 without any stress. Would it be possible to configure the memory in that way with the specified setup?.

I do not plan to change the ram frequency higher than 2400 MHz but I want to low the latency as much as I can.

Thanks for the answers!

They make 2400 cl 11 or 12 ram. I'd at least get 3000 cl 15 ram if I was going to try your plan. It's not much more than the cl16 stuff if you catch it right

Thanks for the answer! The configuration of ram that I put in the original message was just an example, I am more interested in knowing if I can do what I asked, more than knowing the best pieces for that. Anyways I will take it into account.

I would be really pleased if anyone knows anything about this question

I question your thinking on this why not just buy a Z270 board in the same price range that supports faster memory.
For your question nobody can answer that their all going to react different.

Because:
1. Is not the same price range, at least where I am located there is a difference of 20-30 euros from H270 to Z270
2. Faster memory in frequency doesn't mean more performance if you have also to touch the latency.

If you touch frequency keeping latency as it is, it gives you almost the same performance increase than touching the latencies and keeping the frequency as it is.

I just want to know if it is possible to touch latencies manually in a H270 motherboard, or they are somehow fixed. I think that the question is clear and concise, but maybe not simple to answer, and I understand it.

An answer like: just buy X or just buy Y doesn't really help me in the question, because I will still have the doubt. Anyways I just ordered all the components, so as soon as I discover if it is doable I will answer here and pick it up as solution for further users that may have the same question that I have.

Well, did it work?
