Just because your board says it supports it doesn't mean you'll be able to actually run memory at that speed or gain any benefits from it. It also depends heavily on the RAM itself as well as your processor. Save your money and go with something at 3200 or 3600.
For Intel CPUs 3200mhz is the best stopping point. For third generation Ryzen CPUs 3600mhz is the sweet spot.

Greetings @grimreaper! Welcome to the Micro Center Community! This sort of inquiry would require a little more information on what your build is primarily going to be focused towards. Would you like you provide a little more background on what your computer is to be used for? Gaming? Multimedia like video editing?grimreaper said:my new board and cpu will take up to 4400mhz ram but i want to know if i use slower ram would 2x16gb by 3600mhz or 2x32gb by 3200mhz work and which would be best -
