I feel stupid to post somehting like this, but this ram kit i got a year ago will only run at 2900mhz on this mobo compared to the 3000hz i got on the smaller kit, i dont know if the 100mhz difference makes any difference to modern gaming.

The mobo its on is an asus TUF z390plus gaming with a intel I7 9700k and 3080ti.

All DDR4 platforms for Intel had their sweet spots with tight latency DDR4-3200MHz dual channel ram kits. You could look towards DDR4-3600MHz ram kits but if they cost you a lot more than DDR4-3200MHz then you'd be at the point diminishing returns, where you're spending more in order to get just a little out of the platform.

For the sake of relevance, what ram kit are we talking about here?

asus TUF z390plus gaming
BIOS version for your motherboard?
