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)

    Should be fine. I have a MSI Z690 Carbon EK X+ 2x16gb Trident Z 6400mhz and will upgrade to 2x48gb same sticks.
