I have an MSI H110I PRO AC motherboard paired with Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro RAM at 3200 MHz. The specs say it can run at up to 2133 MHz, so that's what I'm getting for now. Can this mean I should try to speed it up? How would that work? I'm really new to computers and just want my memory working as fast as possible.

It's better to use 2133 MHz, but don't buy a board labeled as H110; that chip is older and won't handle the new speed well. Stick with an H110 or newer for compatibility.

No, that's wrong. The H110 won't take 2133MHz RAM. You need to use 2666MHz or lower for this board.
