This is up to each person using memory. There really no difference between 2133 vs 3600. The 3600 memory will run at 3600 but it will not give you any speed boost. Just make sure that you go by the memory list that is supported by this board.

For my Z170x board I use this memory. I use Profile 1 in bios and it works as advertised. CPU-Z says it runs at 1400. Double that for dual channel, I think.
