Crucial - 2-Pack 8GB PC4-21300 DDR4 DIMM Unbuffered Non-ECC Desktop Memory Kit

Am looking to install these x2 sticks listed above to make my PC up to 32GBs as well as maybe take advantage of the higher (2666MHz). I was reading somewhere if you have XMP enabled it wouldnt be an issue, question is, would the above buy be a waste of hardware with mobo info below? I have AIDA64 extreme (software), I dont see "XMP" anywhere, Im almost sure my new 2016 PC has the setting somewhere to maybe take advantage of something...THANKS for your time reading.

(Current memory is: 16gb's (x2 8gb's) DDR4-2133MHz (PC4 17000) (both are Samsung)

----------- (motherboard)

CPU Name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz
Motherboard Chipset: Intel Sunrise Point Z170, Intel Skylake-S

Thanks, now Pc is equipped w/32GBs, actually picked a different memory kit, said no xmb support in the back of the package but mobo is carrying 2400MHz (checked w/CPU-Z) PC Should be good for 7 years give or take, lol.
