So i want to buy corsair white lpx ram, but i have only seen it at 3000 mhz or higher.

So i want to do a ryzen build when the r5 line up of chips releases but most mobos so far only support 2667 ram frequency.

Is it worth underclocking the ram to 2666 mhz from 3000 mhz or should i just buy 2666 mhz ram?

as long as its branded with a 2666 jdec (it should be its corsair) in the spd timings there should be no issues. in fact you should be able to run the ram at a lower latency, which should make up any performance loss from the 333mhz reduction in overall ram speed.
