Ok so i am getting ryzen 9950x3d (gaming and work: 3d rendering/modeling, 3d assets creation, animation etc,) with x870e phantom nova motherboard.
So i need 128gb of ram and i read that amd cpus including 9950x3d can't handle 4 chips of ram that well. So i guess i will have to get 64x2 ddr5 kit.
My question is, which ram kit (64x2 ddr5) do i get. Its my first time going with amd cpu so i am kind of noob at that. I am also searching on google as well but i thought i should ask here as well.
I will appreciate the help, thanks.

Have you picked a motherboard yet? If so, check the QVL list of the motherboard.
If not, pick a MSI board whose QVL contains the memory that match your need.
I have mentioned the motherboard as well, its Asrock, x870e phantom gaming Nova. I went with this motherboard because m.2 slots doesn't share lanes with the gpu and i can use all of the 5 m.2 slots without losing performance on the gpu.

The speed is low, i want at least 6000MT. Even amd is recommending 6000mt ram for 9950x3d. There is another i found on a motherboard qvl list is Adata AX5U6400C3248G-BLABRBK (compatible chips 2, overclockable, expo, DS), its 6400mt CL32. So i guess i will have to go with 48x2 (96Gb) instead of 128Gb.
I don't know why there are these issue with amd side of things. With Intel i never had these type of issues. Only if Intel released a good chip for both gaming and productivity.

4800c40 and 6000c28 don't differ when they are paired with 9950x3d for gaming. It differs when handling productivity tasks.
