[SOLVED] Upgrading ram but with old Mobo(3000mhz to 2133)

[pedrodavidpalacios1]

I have a MSI H170A PC MATE mobo and an i5-6500 currently i have 8gb(2x4) 2133mhz and it's starting to get a bit short because i now do a lot of multi tasking, editing(well trying lol) and i'm thinking about upgrading.

Next year i'm building a pc with a ryzen etc and i want to buy now a 3000-3200mh 2x8 RAM so i can use It with the new build also i guess It should be ok with my mobo and CPU It should run ay 2133 without problem right? And It Will not damage the RAM or anything i hope.

Yes, most DDR4 range from 2133MHz and up and it will run at lowest speed but also higher if MB and CPU allow.

Why so slow RAM? Ryzen 3000 is best paired with 3600 Mhz RAM. Who knows what 4000-series will run.
