ram speed
Hello, upgrading your RAM is a good idea. Since your motherboard only supports 5000MHz, using 5200MHz RAM should work fine. Just ensure the RAM is compatible with your motherboard model. You won’t face issues as long as it matches the specifications.
I have an i7-13700k and an ASUS Prime B760 Plus with D4 chipset

He’s probably using a DDR4 board. It’s a good idea to verify the QVL on Asus’ site and choose a compatible kit. These listings aren’t as trustworthy anymore, but the available options should function at least. Are you thinking about a 2x16GB or a 4x8GB configuration? I’d suggest the 2x16GB setup, as running four DIMMs with DDR4 controllers can be tricky on both AMD and Intel platforms, especially regarding speed and timing limits.
Was highlighted the 5200MHz RAM as DDR5. Does the DDR4 board accommodate 5GB RAM, or is there a mix-up in the boards?
Interestingly, the Asus site mentions compatibility up to a certain model, though not officially confirmed. I think it's possible to reach that with proper adjustments, provided the CPU memory controller works well. I haven't used Intel since the 9900K, so I can't offer an opinion on that.
I wouldn't pay the extra for the 5200MHz model, opt for a 4000MHz or 3600MHz one and do the tuning yourself. Even with similar prices, it's unlikely the 5200MHz version will work reliably without significant adjustments. In my 5950X setup, the 4000MHz kit ran fine at 3800MHz with a bit less voltage, and it performed well. As speeds increase in DDR4 kits, reaching 5200MHz becomes much more challenging, just like with DDR5 and DDR3 before. Expecting such speeds on a 32GB DDR4 board is probably unrealistic, even from Intel.
