It's important for CPUs in the 1000 and 2000 series up to about 3200Mhz before gains slow down. For the 3000 series, 3600MHz works best overall. Using dual channels helps, though speed is also a key factor.
Consider purchasing a new kit. It seems to be functioning properly, and I believe the frequency was set correctly at 2933MHz. You can manually adjust the speed if the XMP feature is turned off.
Sure, I’d choose a 2933Mhz board just in case. I’m pretty confident you won’t be able to adjust the manual memory speed on those A-series chips.
I purchased a 32GB used drive with a 2800MHz clock speed for some users. Was that acceptable since 2800 isn't the typical range? They usually use speeds like 2133, 2400, 2933, or 3200.
