I want to get this board but i see its native RAM only goes to 2400mhz but i own corsair 3000mhz. Does this mean it will bottleneck my current RAM? Or will i be able to overclock it?:bounce:

If you use the X.M.P settings in BIOS it should take you to the keyed in settings on your memory. You can have a look at their memory QVL and in it you'll find the frequency's that particular board can run. You should also make sure you update your BIOS to the latest revision prior to going with the X.M.P settings.

In essence it also depends on your processor's IMC, some can push the frequency's without any issues while some will struggle to go past 2400MHz.
