Hello, I recently upgraded my RAM and discovered the speed doesn’t match my motherboard, even though it was listed on the manufacturer’s site. I’m considering a potential motherboard upgrade now. Here’s what I’m using currently:
Asus H110-Plus
Intel I7-7700
Nvidia 1060 3gb
32gb XPG GAMMIX 3200mHz (limited to 2400 on my board)
I’m searching for a new board that can fully support my RAM, CPU, GPU, and possibly a future GPU like the 3070. Any recommendations or tips on checking compatibility would be really helpful.

Consider a Z170 or Z270 chipset to achieve RAM at DDR4-3200MHz.

Putting more money on a dead platform solely to gain from 3200mhz rams isn't worthwhile.
