I've pulling together a system for my gran. got the I3 10100, 2x4GB DDR4 3000 and a ASUS Prime H410M-A in my baskets.

Looking at its specs, it will not support anything above 2666MHz RAM as it is not an i5/7/9. Or will I be bale to stick on the XMP profile and it'll still just work at 3000MHz? But I recall memory speed not having a big impact on intel performance compared to AMD?

I'm hoping this build will "just work" given it's for my Gran!
 
In an H410 motherboard, it will downclock it to 2666.

RAM speed does matter for Intel, but for a desktop PC 2666 is fine.
