Core i7 14700K RAM Max speed (alien.top)

Hi there! I'm about to build my first gaming PC and I've already got a Core i7 14700k and a MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX LGA1700 Motherboard but now I'm wondering if its a good idea to get a DDR5 7200 36 GB RAM Kit. I've heard of people not being able to sustain these speeds in a stable way even with XMP. Would it be better to get a slower speed and more RAM? If so, what's a good RAM speed sweet spot. Thanks!!

Some motherboards and IMCs might still require tweaking to get 7200 MT/s stable, but I'd say most Z790 and 14th gen shouldn't have an issue hitting 7200 MT/s.

Going over 7200 is problematic, as there's a pretty big wall for >7200 on 4 DIMM motherboards. Maybe 7400/7600 if you're lucky.
