Your motherboard only supports up to 1333 MHz, so you won’t be able to use 2400 MHz sticks. You can’t unlock higher speeds beyond what it’s designed for.

No, you're looking to purchase DDR4 RAM for a system that uses DDR3 motherboards.

What kind of motherboard are you using? If it’s an older model, it could be DDR3, but the 2400 MHz RAM suggests it’s more likely DDR4.

You'd need to modify BIOS/UEFI settings to set RAM speed. But this doesn't ensure optimal performance. If the device lists compatibility only up to 1333, it probably won't support faster rates.

This also relies on the assumption that the UEFI supports strong memory configurations out of the box. There isn't much data available to work with.

There are several DDR3 variants that reach above 2400, such as a model rated at 2800, though actual availability may vary based on the board and chip used. AMD’s offerings generally cap around 1600-1866, while Intel can often exceed that depending on the specific hardware.
