I'm preparing a big upgrade for my PC and want to check if my CPU can handle the RAM you're considering. I'm using an Asus PRIME Z390M-PLUS Micro ATX board with an i7 9700F processor. I'm planning to install faster RAM and am considering a 4000MHz model. If my CPU can support it, I'd like to run the Patriot Viper Steel 4000MHz RAM. If not, I need advice on what adjustments are necessary to enable that speed. You can find more details here: the link you shared.

Choose a kit with 3200 or 3600 MHz RAM. The 4000 MHz option could be viable but may cause instability.

Yes, I think that would be effective. However, if I were you, you'd likely receive a maximum of 3200 rather than 4000. Intel doesn't require extremely fast RAM.

The primary reason for my thoughts was the frame expansion.

Intel prioritizes performance over speed, so you won't see big gains from switching RAM speeds. A jump from 3200 to 4000 won't noticeably improve your gameplay. Stick with the stable option.
