What CPU will you be using?

What CPU will you be using?

My Cpu is 13700KF

Do you intend to overclock only the RAM?

Or RAM and CPU both?

What specific RAM? Have you purchased it already?

Bro, I got me a MEG Z790 ACE. I'm running 13900KS, 4090, 128Gb DDR5 6400, (2) 2TB M.2 990 Pro and a M.2 2TB Evo. I also have a SAS RAID 6 42TB. This motherboard is great. When it boots, the BIOS also encapsulates the RAID card BIOS as if it's part of the MSI bios. I didn't have this on my ASUS motherboard.

Yes, I think all z790 motherboards are all over the price at least when I bought them, but the quality seems to be worth it if you plan to have it for a few years.

Also note, MSI BIOS doesn't visually look as good as some others out there look, but it gets to the point. I been an ASUS guy for a long time, and after I moved to MSI, I haven't looked back. I also have an MSI laptop running a 3080Ti. Love that too.
