According to @RONOTHAN##, the model found is likely the typical Kingston RAM you have.
Case states 2400 but you have 2666, seems Kingston made an error.
It might not be necessary. It remains a solid source for what proven methods work. Just because a certain kit is outdated doesn't mean you can't locate it in used condition. Occasionally you hit a chance to find ones that haven't been sold yet, still pristine. Likely around 2400 base, with an overclock up to 2666 using DOCP/XMP activated – fairly typical. Make sure such adjustments fit your system. If you turn them on, verify the timing settings match what's recommended. DOCP and XMP often need manual tuning, as seen with my 5900X. It displayed incorrect timings—20-20-20-43 instead of the board's expected 16-18-18-36. Updated August 24, 2022 by An0maly_76 Revised
To adjust the settings manually, refer to the instructions provided in your device or software manual.
It depends on whether your system's maximum capacity (2400 in this example) is lower than the DIMM's rated speed (2666 MHz). If so, it might still operate at a reduced rate, though stability could be affected. Minor or moderate issues are possible, but it's unlikely to cause major problems if the machine runs smoothly without crashes or boot failures. You can adjust settings in the BIOS, but only if necessary—especially if XMP/DOCP doesn't recognize the configuration. Turning XMP off usually removes that need. It's best to avoid changing these unless required.
You have 2666 Mhz DIMMs in a system capped at 2400 Mhz. If it's operating without crashes or unusual behavior, you're likely fine. As long as voltage and timing are correct, performance shouldn't be affected—only speed might slightly influence stability. Since the RAM isn't running at full capacity, it could run cooler, which may improve reliability. Assuming no boot or crash problems, are you noticing any issues like blank screens or refusal to start?
I own an Evga Supernova G2 modular with 850 watts and Gold finish.
