Recently got the 14900K from Amazon, and I’m facing some issues with RAM overclocking on my ASUS Prime Z790-P. Before upgrading from my i5-13600KF, I had my RAM running smoothly at 7200MHz with just 1.38V and 1.38VDDQ. However, my new 14900K struggles to handle 7200MHz, even at 1.45V and 1.45VDDQ. After running OCCT stress tests for about 1-2 minutes, my PC freezes, and I get a (41) kernel error. Is this normal, or should my 14900K be capable of running 8000MHz RAM without issues? Looking for advice and insights here!

7200 on a prime board with 4 slots is pure luck. In your case, you didn't have any. I wouldn't blame the cpu before you've tried it on a proper motherboard.

Or just run 6800 or something, the difference isn't huge.
