Hi all,
I bought a Z690 board to pair with the i7-14700K CPU to save $100 but I’m having second thoughts. Will I have any performance issues achieving the full RAM speeds? I believe the RAM is micron. I don’t have any plans to overclock RAM. Maybe the CPU.
Any compatibility issues? Should I shell out the extra cash to get a MSI Z790-A board instead (about 100 USD difference where I am)
| Type | Item | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Motherboard | MSI MAG Z690 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX LGA1700 Motherboard | - |
| Memory | Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6200 CL36 Memory |
At that speed Z690 vs Z790 shouldn’t make a difference. You might as well put that money towards Hynix RAM instead.
