I am planning on buying this motherboard.
https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-Z270-A/
My question is it says it supports 2133 DDR4 ram and also supports up to 3866 MHz overclocked with a multitude of frequencies in between. What I'm not understanding or able to find a definitive answer to is when you over clock to 3866 or 3300 MHz etc do you need to buy ram rated at 3866 or do you get 2133 MHz and it can over clock that to 3866. My understanding of over clocking is you don't buy a 5.0 GHz CPU when you want to over clock to 5.0 GHz. Does the same thought apply to ram?
