Does i7-6770 micro will handle 3400MHz RAM?

Hi!

I am planning to upgrade RAM in my motherboard MSI M7.
I've been reading about compatibility in RAM for it https://msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z170A-GAMING-M7.html#support-mem
But I've searched on intel webpage, and it says i7-6770 can't handle speeds over 2133MHz in DDR4 https://ark.intel.com/es-es/products/93341/Intel-Core-i7-6770HQ-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_50-GHz

Is that true? If I end up buying something like these http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-3400c16q-32gtz could it work in 3400MHz permanently?

Thank you!

That board will support that RAM up to 3400 at OC settings. You just have to set the RAM up to the overclocks settings.
