Waiting for NOVA PHANTOM GAMING X870E motherboard to be back in stock.
Once that is there, would be starting to assemble

Do not forget to check the memory on the QVL database of each mobo manufacturer. If they say its good to go, it means they tested it on that specific motherboard on those speeds and all good.

Looks like the only G.Skill 2x48 modules compatible are Trident models - F5-6400J3239F48GX2-TZ5RS and F5-6400J3239F48GX2-TZ5RW

omg.. Another nuance.
I see a couple on the Asus side atleast with Trident.. but on Asrock Nova, the only one supported for 48 gb is the 5600 one

Memory QVLs are whack.

The only other option for the NOVA board is probably this one.. but a little higher price though..
CMH96GX5M2B6000C30 ver 5.53.13

There are some in ADATA and TEAM group but don't have so much faith on those brands. Haven't heard much.

UPDATE- got a 20% off on the CMH96GX5M2B6000C30 ver 5.53.13 which makes it less than the G skill one and compatible as well.Planning on getting that. Would that be fine?

QVL = tested memory
For two RAM sticks nowadays you do not have to worry if the model is not in the QVL list.

TEAMGROUP is very good! They have kits with XMP or EXPO or BOTH.

Is there a significant difference between these 2? I see the gold certified one is priced $50 less. Should I just get that?

One is good and the other is very good with better components including the fan.
If you can, buy the Straight.

All the purchases done except for ASRock X870E NOVA WIFI AM5 AMD X870E.
It looks like a high demand MB.
