I'm checking out a new setup and haven't found details on whether G.SKILL's 96GB kit (2x48) at 6800MHz fits the ROG Strix X670E-E. I'm planning to use a Ryzen 9 7900X.

Typically, if it isn't you, you can always revert it.

It won't function at 6800MT/s definitely. Most Ryzen processors struggle to maintain stable performance at that frequency, let alone 6400 or 6800. The XMP settings on these units seem largely ineffective. Running at around 6000CL30-38-38 will likely succeed eventually, though it remains uncertain right now. The memory chips used (Hynix 24GB) are relatively new and require BIOS tweaks to operate properly—far fewer than the Micron Rev. B found in the 6000 CL40-48-48 models. I haven't ruled it out entirely; based on my experience, these should still run in BIOSes without active operation, albeit with much lower speeds. However, my track record suggests Intel and AMD support may lag, so you might encounter problems with these boards. It's better to wait until 2x48GB kits of 6000CL30/32 are available before trying them, as BIOS compatibility should improve then, increasing your chances of a successful overclock.
