Hi all. I am upgrading my 6850k build to 14900k. At the moment microcenter has a bundle deal of Intel i9 14900K, MSI Z790 MAG Tomahawk WiFi, G.Skill 64GB DDR5-5600 Kit for $800. Is this a good bundle? I don’t mind paying more if necessary.

Well it seems that the MSI has used I225-V for the MAG Z790 Tomahawk MAX WiFi.

But I225-V is not problem-free either.

However for PRO Z790-A (MAX) which also uses I225-V there seems to be a workaround (in OP post & at the bottom):

But this workaround may not work for everyone.
No idea. I’ve just seen reports about RIPJAWS S5 having thermal pads not contacting some memory chips. And also some posts here on reddit about Z5 high temps under stress (70-80C which is still within spec though).
