You can still use it, but performance will be limited. The motherboard supports DDR4-2666, so your 3600 RAM won’t cause a crash or prevent booting—it may run slower than intended.

It will operate at the maximum CPU frequency available, which is 2666MHz. No issues should occur.

Based on the type of motherboard you select, you may set your RAM to 3600, though some minor adjustments could be required.

They select lower speeds for compatibility and stability reasons, even with DDR4-3XXX memory available.

Are you asking if I meant the mainboard's chipset?

CPU, motherboard, and memory now work together closely. CPUs maintain a standard speed, while motherboards allow RAM to reach its highest claimed rate. The motherboard plays a crucial role in determining which RAM sticks are compatible.
