Build Advice I'm looking for feedback on these two components ?

[Geoff Leven]

I'll be building a waterlooped system in the near future, and will be using the following parts:

Motherboard:​

Gigabyte Z790 AORUS MASTER X​

RAM:​

PATRIOT VIPER XTREME 5 48GB DDR5 [2x24GB - Kit] 8200MT/s - PVX548G82C38K​

https://www.umart.com.au/product/pa...-ddr5-2x24gb-kit-8200mt-s-pvx548g82c38k-78052

It's the best I can find locally, Just would like to hear anyone's opinion on these items, experience good or bad, temps you're getting on the RAM etc...

You should avoid Intel, IMHO. Also, high frequncy rams would be a bad idea when Intel's having stability issues. Might I also ask why you're looking at DDR5-8200MHz ram kit?

 

[Geoff Leven]

the 14900k I have now is a brand new replacement over the previous 13900k I had which was RMA'd. Otherwise why not a 8200mhz kit??

Minimal performance gains over something like 6000/6400mhz and poor price to performance ratio.

I think for the price of 2 x 24gb 8200mhz, you can get a 2x32gb 6000mhz kit.

I would also suggest the Asrock Taichi board for your CPU.

I'll be building a AUD$6000 waterloop machine with performance and longevity in mind. all those parts don't cut the cake.

I asked for feedback on the parts I mentioned because they have the performance I am looking for. not alternatives because you think they are better value. Cost is not in this equation.

 

[Geoff Leven]

And no one so far sounds as though they've actually used the components I've listed.

Longevity says you should stay well away from very overclocked memory running at high voltages. Once you start considering memory temperature as a question, already going down the wrong path.

Even the enthusiasts I have seen are sticking with something more realistic like 7200. But 6000/6400 with as low a latency as you can get is preferable. If you are seeking memory bandwidth, consumer platform isn't the best there.

If you hold out for the Intel microcode updates, hopefully the 14900K will last a long time.

I've had Aorus motherboards, nothing bad to say. That particular board has a lot of features, you really need to check if that is something you need. Otherwise you can find boards with the same VRM design.

You aren't likely to find many people using the motherboard and memory combo, no.

I guess I should have gone into the build a bit more. This build will include the MO-RA3 and will include the CPU and RAM in the loop. Temperatures are not going to be a problem.

Are you planning on adding in the motherboard VRMs too? There are motherboard options that allow this if you are interested, and considering the budget, you could probably afford it.

I hadnt considered that. Examples?

I am not sure there are other examples in the z790 chipset this generation for whatever reason, but here is an ASUS board. Not sure if you can acquire it in Australia easily. There are a few more options with the z690 chipset:
