I have an i7 7700k and it is supposed to handle 2400mhz of RAM at max. However, I have a ram of 2666mhz. Question is, what does this mean? The more the mhz on the ram, the more the fps in-game? Someone please explain me
 
Solution
I dont know where your getting the CPU can only handle 2400 from. I have a 7700k with 3000mhz ram no problem.

In your bios there is an option called XMP, enable that and you will get your advertised ram speed.

My motherboard is a Gigabyte Aorus Z270X Gaming 5, it accepts pretty decent DDR4 4133+(OC) RAMs. But I am concerned about the relationship between the RAM and the CPU, as the CPU can "only" handle 2400 mhz. Does this affect performance?
