Hello, I noticed many users running a 3000 MHz RAM with an Intel Core i5-10400. It seems this chip can handle up to 2933 MHz RAM. My concern is whether the 3000 MHz RAM will actually function properly from the start or if it will simply cap at 2933 MHz.

The system doesn't accommodate up to 2933. The information provided states it works with 3000.

I saw some info on the Intel website, but it might have been a bit unclear. Could you clarify what you meant?

check out this video—it suggests using a board other than Z490, which doesn’t make much sense. If you do get a Z490, the 10600k is a solid gaming chip with the proper memory. For budget builds, go with the 3600; the 10400 seems unnecessary.
