Recommendations for Intel 14th Gen on Gigabyte z690i DDR4 ultra lite itx board? (alien.top)

So I have this unused itx board. Has a pretty decent vrm setup (10+1+2) and the bios updates seems to have worked out all the previous instabilities with running the pcie slot at 4.0 speeds. What CPU and Ram should I run for mainly gaming and some video rendering apps. Was thinking about 14th gen i7 and some sort of 64gb ram. Do you think the vrm's can handle the i7? (Would be liquid cooling it) is there a recommended 64gb ram kit someone could point me to? I understand ddr5 would be better but I'm kinda stuck with this board and wanted to make the best of the situation. Thank you in advance ☺️

Pretty sure the ultra lite version is just the original batch of busted boards with the pcie slot set to 3.0 in the bios out of the factory. There's another different revision that has it actually working at 4.0 speeds.

I have another build with the same board. The pcie slot does indeed work at 4.0 speeds. It's not " busted". Haven't tested anything with the 5.0 speed option though.

Ah ok, glad to hear that. The official spec page still says 3.0 only and I remember them having 3 z690 itx revisions, the vanilla aorus ultra that was soft recalled, the ultra lite which was pcie 3.0 and the ultra plus which had the 4.0 working and fixed. I guess they should update their site info or something then.
