Hi, I am looking to add more RAM to my PC. Right now it has 4GB 2133MHz RAM stick installed.

I have Gigabyte Z170-HD3P motherboard and Intel i3 6100 processor.

When I look on intel site for RAM specs, it indicates that it only supports 2133MHz DDR4 max. However, on Gigabyte site the motherboard specs indicates that it can support

"Support for DDR4 3466(O.C.) /3400(O.C.) /3333(O.C.) /3300(O.C.) /3200(O.C.) /3000(O.C.) /2800(O.C.) /2666(O.C.) /2400(O.C.) /2133 MHz memory modules"


I am really confused if these RAM will work with my PC or not?
