Wait, hold up.
You don’t care about the price difference between a 14700 and a 14900, and are concerned about memory performance, yet you plan to purchase a motherboard that doesn’t support DDR5 just to stick with your existing set of RAM - a paltry 32GB across 4 modules, to save a few bucks there??
Bro none of this makes sense. You need to research more about 13/14th gen.
Absolutely want to go DDR5. Moreover, do not fill all the ram slots if you want the best memory performance. Get two high capacity DIMMs and only use those. You lose memory performance running 4 sticks with these cpus.
I got the gskill 6400mhz 2x 48GB set.
Sticking with your old memory and a motherboard that won’t support the latest generation is nonsensical.
He wants to spend money, but spending money on a good motherboard and ram is too much. Absolutely nonsensical
