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.

I'll go with the 6000 cl30 RAM👍
Thx for all your replies!
You don’t need a high end motherboard for it. 6000 is gonna run on anything really.
Whatever is Intel suggested.
And what's that? The 5600 that is spec or the 8000+ they advertise?
Memory Types
Up to DDR5 5600 MT/s
Up to DDR4 3200 MT/s
Not sure why i got downvoted but whatever people suck.
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.
If you want to minimize the risk of XMP not working get the 6000 kit. Since it's cl30 it probably has hynix chips anyway, which means that if you ever want to overclock in the future you'll still be able to reach high frequencies.
Just so you know all the overcooking 2 ram slot boards are the only time ur all but guaranteed 7200xmp will work. It's just that so little people buy them they're not even considered despite being the best for even stock performance and they all tend to have very high quality parts unlike the 'we know rich people will buy this bcuz it costs the most' kind of boards above it in price that tend to actually use worse parts lmao.
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.
You could meet in the middle and get 6400 titanium c32
