THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ADVICE , HELP and SUPPORT !!!
I am sorry !
I wanted to clarify compatibility and correct operation!
The maximum frequency that the processor supports 2933 MHz.
1.Will there be compatibility, correct operation of the processor and RAM, the entire operation. Windows systems 10 if I choose a frequency of 3200 MHz?
2.Will there be an additional load on the processor if I choose random access memory with a frequency of 3200 MHz?
3,Can I safely buy RAM with a frequency of 3200 MHz?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ADVICE , HELP and SUPPORT !!!
BEST REGARDS, Grigoriy.

You're very welcome.
Yes, I think you will be fine.
If you look at the Crucial memory report for your model, they list 3200 MHz memory as compatible.
You can actually install 2 x 16 GB if you wanted to according to the report.

Hi:
Unfortunately, I wouldn't know the answers to your questions.
Crucial says the 3200 MHz memory will work.
What should happen is the memory will downclock to 2933 MHz to match the processors maximum FSB speed.
What actually will happen is anyone's guess.
Here is a post which completely baffles me, and I have no idea why this should happen...
