Can My AMD Ryzen 5 1600x Run 2 Sticks of DDR4 RAM clocked at 3000MHz?

So I'm planning to buy a Ryzen 5 1600x for my PC, but the CPU says it supports RAM up to 2933MHz, and I plan to buy a set of 2 8GB sticks of Corsair Vengeance RAM.

My motherboard (msi X470 Gaming Plus) supports the RAM speed, if that is to be taken into consideration.
Should I seek out a set of RAM that clocks exactly at 2933MHz, or should I buy the 3000?


Thank you in advance!

The motherboard support page for your model has a list of all RAM models they have certified to run at certain speeds.
