Hi,
Your first-gen Ryzen 1400 should work with RAM up to 2667, but your motherboard offers XMP profiles at 2667 and 2933. Using 2933 at 1.35V is possible, though it might not be the safest choice since your CPU only supports 2667. It could affect stability or performance.

It could be stable, though it might not always be. If it functions, it's acceptable.

Ryzen allows RAM speeds up to 2667MHz, but beyond that it's treated as an overclock of the IMC. The exact limit varies based on the memory type and BIOS settings.
