Hello there im gonna build a z370 gigabyte pro gaming with i5 8400 coffeelake.My question is :
Is it correct to pair my i5 with 3466mhz?I know that the limit is 2666 but with the XMP enabled can i get better results from my 3466 or it will be the same result with an 2666mhz ram?
 
Solution
It's definitely possible to run higher RAM speeds >2666MHz, but the performance benefit is unlikely to be relative to the cost, outside of a few, select workloads.
