I have an AsRock Z270 Pro 4 mobo and an i7-7700k. I have looked on AsRock specs page and I'm just confused on which ram I should get. For my AMD FX-8320 I used Kingston HyperX. This is my first Intel since my quad-core Celeron back in the day.

Looking for advice. Thanks.

The RAM is going to operate at the same,voltage. The RAM temp is negligible on your system. Theres no reason to run it at 2400, 2666 is the standard for the CPU anyway so at 2400 you would be running below the memory controller. Why get a $350 CPU and not give it the proper memory bandwidth?
