So I was thinking about using 16GB G.Skill RAM running at DDR4-2800 MHz on an ASUS Crosshair VI Hero. Problem is, the "supported" speeds are (according to pcpartpicker.com): 2133, 2400, 2666, and 3200 MHz. So if I put some 2800 MHz RAM in it, will the RAM run at 2800MHz, will it even work, or will it run at a lower speed, or will it do something else? Thank you for your help...
