The motherboard supports only 2666MT/s, so you adjust the clock speeds. Your current setup is 3200MT/s CL16 with tweaked secondary timings, while you're running at 2666MT/s CL13 with similar adjustments. The difference in specifications shouldn't affect performance if real-time latency remains consistent.

It depends on the memory ICs available on each stick. You can find kits that won't work below CL16 regardless of the situation, and you can also get options with very low scaling. In practice, timing variations usually aren't significant enough to make a difference unless you're comparing very specific parts like B dies, otherwise upgrading a motherboard is probably the better choice.
