So my i7 5820K says it will support up to 2133MHz DDR4 but I got 3200MHz. Will this cause it to not post or go into BIOS?

What motherboard do you have? My 6700k said max was 2133mhz but my motherboard has an XMP profile to run the ram at its rated frequency (3000). It is considered an "overclock" though even if the memory is running at stock speeds.
