So, I bought a Supermicro motherboard (X11DPi-NT) and a Xeon Silver 4210. I was planning to buy a QVL DDR4-2933 RAM but I just realized that the processor only supports DDR4-2400.
From my understanding, the RAM should still work at the lower speed but the CL will remain the same. That would mean that the true latency will be 17.5ns (21/2400*2000) instead of the 14.3ns, right? Is that 22% increased as bad as it sounds for day to day usage (FreeNAS, Proxmox)?
(I'm still searching for a slower memory but they either not as available, more expensive or not in the QVL.)
