Rules
-
Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all.
-
No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.
-
All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.
-
Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

Depends on how much memory you want to get. I'm running 4 channel x 32gb (128gb total) on an Asus strix z790-e wifi, and it's unsupported. I can't get it to post at the rated 6000mhz, so I underclocked it to 5066 (it does post up to 5200mhz but 5200mhz shows errors in memtest386). At 5066mhz it runs all 4 passes of memtest86 cleanly.
It's gskill 6000mhz z5.memoey.
I did try corsair dominators (24gb each x 4 channel) and they wouldn't post at their rated 7000mhz either. But even underclockibg them at 4800mhz was unstable.
My advice is to stay with dual channel if you can, as those have more luck posting at xmp speeds.
There was no valid supported 32gb x 4 channel config from the manufacturer so I'm lucky it works at all. I had to have 128gb of RAM though so put up with the slightly slower speeds.
Asus lists the manufacturers and combinations certified to work with the board on the boards support page. Stick with those if you want xmp to work and not have to figure out a stable setup yourself.
