Best RAM for i9 14900K? (alien.top)

Hi forum

I want to upgrade my pc with the new i9 14900K. What RAM should I buy? 6000 cl30 or 7200 cl34?

I want it to be plug and play with XMP (no RAM manual overclocking). I am thinking about buying the Asus Maximus Z790 Hero high-end motherboard.

I use my PC mostly for gaming and video rendering.

Thanks in advance

if you get the asus apex encore you are almost 100% guranteed to get 8000xmp tweaked working, i've tried 5 different 14900K cpus on my apex encore motherboard and all were stable in 8000mhz xmp.

that being said, if you get any other motherboard i heard its very likely you wont go over 7200 on the ram, the apex encore is special as it only features 2 ram slots and if you are going to buy it make sure you buy 2x single rank memory modules to reach 8000, preferably look at the QVL.
