Can this board power on the Ram?

I'm setting up a new Plex server and don't plan to overclock. I'm curious about the B450M DS3H model. Will it allow me to modify the RAM I purchase? For example, if I buy a 2667 MHz kit, can this board be adjusted to run at 2933 or 3000 MHz?

Not meeting the board's requirements. That's about the RAM limit. On average, some RAMs perform better than others. My Patriot Intel Extreme Masters 1866MHz works well at 2400, 11-12-36 or 1600, 8-9-8-20, which are actually faster than standard options. The motherboard itself can officially handle up to 3200MHz RAM, but it's worth checking if the RAM remains stable at those higher speeds.

Yes, that board allows memory overclocking. There's no guarantee you'll be able to push the RAM any higher than its rated speed though.
