Hello everyone, As the title says, I have 2666 MHz certified ram, and I run it with z270 motherboard, I wonder if i can overclock and operate it at 3200 MHz without breaking it?
 
Solution
You won't break it, but they may not be stable even if you loosen the timings. In the end they may be slower at 3200 MHz than they are 2666 MHz. It costs you nothing to test them at 3200 MHz.
