I'm curious to know if these parts can work together effectively.
I'm curious to know if these parts can work together effectively.
Hi there, I hope you're doing well.
I was wondering if someone could assist me with this.
ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi Intel® Z790 LGA 1700 ATX motherboard,

Will this board be compatible with the listed parts?
Intel i9-13900K.

No need to ask further—I thought this would work.
Regarding the next points:
- Does this board support Bluetooth?
- Would I require an M.2 with a heatsink, or is one included in the package?

The full specifications for your board are available at the provided link. Compatibility details can be found through the corresponding helpdesk page. Please remember that memory compatibility refers only to those modules tested for this board; it doesn't guarantee all compatible options will work. I've used RAM that hasn't been used on any board's QVL, experiencing only a minor issue likely related to XMP settings. Regarding your questions: Yes, the cooler compatibility is affected by the RAM you choose, as the cooler is positioned over certain slots. Yes, it comes with the motherboard. You might want to think about a 360mm AIO cooler, though the i9-13900K doesn't show significant improvement with faster RAM compared to the standard configuration.
The model of your device is the NH-D15 with a height of 165mm. An alternative version, the NH-D15s, stands at 160mm and supports taller ram heat spreaders. The cooling performance remains almost unchanged. M.2 devices (generation below gen5) do not require heat sinks. With sufficient airflow over the motherboard, air cooling is effective. If your motherboard includes a m.2 heat sink, use it. Avoid seeking ultra-fast RAM for gaming. A review on 13900K RAM speed scaling is provided here: Core i9 13900K DDR5 7200 MHz (+memory scaling) review. Recently, we examined the performance differences between DDR5 6000 and 7200 MHz on Raptor Lake processors, including a TeamGroup T-Force Delta 7200 CL34 DDR5 kit. Introduction www.guru3d.com

Thank you so much for the awesome help .
I have not yet watched the linked YT video, but I will, thank you so much.
So basically this looks like this board is for me, I really appreciate the confirmation.
As RAM, I had planned to get something like this
Amazon.co.uk
I also looked at this
Amazon.co.uk
But could see no real benefit of the Fury, as they are both 6000mhz, and the fury is just more money for nothing, from what I can tell. Aapart from it looks lower profile?
I looked at water cooling, and agree, it looks very cool. (pun intended.) But TBH, and this sounds odd I know, but its more expensive to run.
Which was the reason I didn't go for a 4090 as well. As I have the cash now, to upgrade from my super old rig. But ongoing with energy prices, Id rather keep the running cost as low as possible, as my PC is on most of the day.
I am also used to Air cooling. Having never used water.
I had planned to lift the front fan on the Noctua, to accommodate the ram.
Also a really helpful person on another thread I posted, suggested swapping the front 140mm fan on the cooler, for a 120mm fan on the Noctua, so that would give me more clearance.
This would mean though that I'm left with a 140mm fan that is redundant.
As I have already purchased 4 Noctua 120mm fans.

(3 for the front/side of the case)
And one for the back. Which I would now look at using on the cooler.

Thank you also for the excellent help.
Knowing I have heatsinks, on that MB, even though it sounds as if they are not needed for the M.2, but its nice to know. <-- not sure wy this in blocks, and wont change back.
Thank you as well for the video link, its been a hectic evening, so I want to watch both linked videos, and take them in.
Also I already have the cooler here it arrived two days ago. Im still waiting for the case.
And have not yet ordered the CPU, MB, M.2 or RAM
You also mentioned which case I had bought.
Coincidentally I asked on another thread, with no reply yet if the case I bought about the rear fan mounting. Explained below.
Amazon.co.uk
This case (apparently) is pretty huge, and should 🤞 be way big enough for the cooler, and the 4080.
But The question I asked, and still don't know, is if a 140mm fan (the one off the cooler,) that I would swap for a 120mm. Can be fitted at the rear of the case. Which would help, and save me having to buy another 120mm fan for the rear of the case.
As they are pretty expensive.
I asked on Amazon some folks said yes a 140mm will fit, others said no, only 120mm fans fit the rear.
So basically, Thanks to you both.
✔ Solved that the MB is right for the i9 13900k DDR 5.
✔ And that the cooler should be enough, and have enough room in the case.
I just need to now find out if that Ram is low enough to (even with a 120mm fan fitted, and raised will have the clearance?
EDIT. I also read that the front 140mm Noctua fan could be fitted to the rear of the cooler. This would solve my swapping of fans issue. If the case is big enough.
And if not, if that case will fit a 140mm at the rear.
I had planed to put 3 x 120mm fans at the front (side) of the case.
1 x 120mm at the rear. (or maybe 140mm if fits.
And 1 x 140m on the base of the case. I know it accepts 140mm there. I thought that would be enough, with the combined two fans on the cooler.
Also the Ram is for gaming, but also VR, and Blender sculpting.
Sorry for the detailed explanation. I just am trying to get it right.
Both of your help is very much appreciated.
