Hello, I have 32GB (16GBx2) 6000 MHz, Corsair Vengeance, DDR5 memory = CMK32GX5M2B6000C40


With a i9-13900KF - LGA1700 CPU


I can't find a ATX motherboard that lists the memory as compatible on their website with the LGA1700 CPU.


I was looking to spend around $250+ on the ATX motherboard. It will be a gaming PC.


Any help is appreciated,

Thanks!
 

 
Thanks.

Is this a good motherboard for the price?

MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI LGA 1700 Intel Z790 SATA 6Gb/s ATX Motherboard

260 bucks is pretty alright.
it was ~400 when it released. and i am still happy with it.
 
If you're ok to overlook the Razer branding (or maybe you're into it?), the ASRock Z690 Taichi Razer is heavily discounted. It was a $600+ board at launch and now it's $250. It's pretty well reviewed, Tom's only gripes were really in relation to the original price tag, which was $619. It has better power delivery than anything else you're likely to find at the current price-point and should handle the 6000MT/s memory just fine.
 
Thanks, I appreciate all of your advice! I checked out all the motherboards. I went with the "MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK" because it had the features I wanted.

Will the HDMI or Display port work with my non Integrated Graphics CPU? Or do I need to buy a graphics card to have video?
 
If your CPU does not have intergrated graphics then you will need a graphics card to get video.

Thanks Steve.. And that is lame, I should have spent the extra $20 for the integrated graphics on the CPU!!

You live and learn!
If your not into gaming as such then you might be able to find a cheap basic GPU for now.
If you have not opened the CPU box yet (if it's new) Maybe you can take it back and pay $20 extra for the intergrated graphics?

I've had it for months. It's no big deal. I have a GTX 1080 in my current PC. I'll just use that to install Windows, programs and updates, so when I buy a new GPU during Christmas sales it will be ready to go!
