Does the ASRock H110M-DGS (Rev. 3.0) support 2400MHz RAM with a G4560?

So I was told to get 2400MHz RAM (as opposed to 2133MHz) with this CPU/mobo-combo. I know the CPU supports it and while the Rev 3.0 of this board supports the CPU, only 2133MHz RAM is mentioned in the specs. I was told the board still supports the faster RAM. Google didn't come up with conclusive answer. Who's got some truth?

The board will only run 2133MHz, regardless of the XMP profiles of any DDR4 modules; it's a limitation of the H110 chipset.

You'll likely also need a BIOS update to run a KabyLake chip on a SkyLake era board..... which is impossible without access to a compatible SkyLake CPU to perform the flash with.

You'd be easier returning the H110 board and picking up a B250 chipset which will support the G4560 natively AND allow the full 2400MHz speeds.
