You can utilize the highest supported RAM speeds for your i9 9900K and MSI Z390 setup.
The top choice would be 3866 or 4000 on that board. https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-16gb-288-...6820232306 Just a bit of overclocking.
Thanks! I don’t recall any details about Intel not backing RAM speeds above 2600 MHz.
2666MHz sets the cap for B and H series boards. For those not aiming to overclock, choose the most affordable 3600MHz CL16 kit available and activate XMP settings. If you want to push performance further, popular Samsung B-die options include 3200 14-14-14-34, 3600 16-16-16-36, and 4000 19-19-19-39. Be careful with VCCIO and VCCSA voltages to avoid damage.
