Hi there! I’m about to build my first gaming PC and I’ve already got a Core i7 14700k and a MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX LGA1700 Motherboard but now I’m wondering if its a good idea to get a DDR5 7200 36 GB RAM Kit. I’ve heard of people not being able to sustain these speeds in a stable way even with XMP. Would it be better to get a slower speed and more RAM? If so, what’s a good RAM speed sweet spot. Thanks!!

    I was running 7200mhz RAM with my 13600kf and now with 14700k. It was only a problem in the beginning because my RAM kit was not supported by my Mobo. After BIOS update everything is fine without any issue. I have Asrock z790 pg riptide
