2133 is recommended fopr non k CPU's.

You need to check your motherboard's specs for RAM support.

It will run the RAM at 2133 since that's the highest available memory multiplier on non-K Skylake CPUs.

If your motherboard supports BCLK overclocking, then you may be able to bump the CPU until the RAM reaches 2400.

Your RAM can run at 2400MHz through an XMP profile if you use a Z170 motherboard. All the other Skylake chipsets lock the memory speed to a 2133MHz maximum.
