I look at Intel ARK and use what they say the CPU is rated for. I am a couple generations behind, so not at the bleeding edge. (Haven't used an AMD CPU, but I would find their equivalent if I did.)

Keep this in mind for when you do: The first boot will be in a "failsafe" 2133MT configuration, but the fabric clock is intended to ramp all the way up to 1800MHz.

You need 3600MT to match that while keeping 1:1 sync, which means XMP unfortunately.
