I have a Z490 Phantom Gaming 4/ac with a Intel Core i5 10400
Based in 10400 only supports up to 2666mhz - I see specs where some put DDR4 3200
What would be the best 16 Meg Kit for my MB?
Thanks guys!
 
Solution
2666 speed is the native speed at which the motherboard/cpu combo will boot.
Ram will default to a low speed to allow you to boot.
Once in the bios, you can set xmp to the 3200 speed advertised by the ram.
That is technically overclocking.

Intel is not sensitive to ram speeds. 3200 speed is probably your most economical pick.
