Hello, yes you can use 3200mhz ram on the Intel 1089xe. The chipset supports it and the motherboard is compatible. While the 2933mhz spec is listed for the kit, 3200 is widely available. You’ve already got most components except RAM, so stability should be fine. Reviewers often test 3200 for benchmarking, but it’s generally safe on this build. Just double-check your system settings and ensure the RAM matches the specifications.
It seems you're considering the 10980XE now. Unless you have specific needs for advanced features like AVX-512, it might not be the best fit unless you require very specialized tasks. Would you like to explore other alternatives that could suit your requirements better?
3200 should work just fine. Most systems will function at a reduced speed during the first boot. Enabling XMP in BIOS will let it run at its rated speed (3200). You can adjust to a slower speed later if necessary. My 7920X is currently paired with 3000 RAM, and I achieved an overclock to 3400 for testing. Faster RAM isn't essential unless you prioritize stability.
Thanks for your reply, I'll proceed with purchasing the RAM now, so I can complete the build.
You don't need to, as having 3200 kits is sufficient if they are more readily accessible.
