The CPU and motherboard model are not specified here. For recent boards and CPUs, the maximum supported memory speed is typically what's officially listed, and faster RAM often functions at that rate. To achieve full performance, enable an XMP profile in the UEFI settings and tweak certain options.
You're considering a budget build with a Core i5 or i3 10th gen, aiming for RAM around 2666 MHz. You plan to use an MSI B410M A Pro series motherboard that supports up to 2999 MHz, and you'll create an XMP profile to set the RAM speed accordingly. Thanks for your assistance!
