So guys, wanna ask, im slowly upgrading my current pc, may i ask what is the best combo for intel i7 now? Currently looking at max budget of RM2.5k for mobo and CPU. I already purchased the RAM, but I just found out it was the 3000Mhz version, and i checked that some mobo dont support it. lol. Or as long as I OC no problem? I have scouted in shopee for i7-10700F/KF around 1.4-1.5k, my mobo i am not so sure yet. AM thinking to get a similar one like my current mobo, ASrock Z97 Extreme6, which have 2 LAN slots. I use 1 for my first floor router and 1 from ground floor router. hahaha.. Anyway, 1 LAN + WiFi is good for me already, or 2 LAN _ WiFi, but I have discovered that 2LAN Mobos are costing 1k++.. lol. So which should I consider getting for mobo? Just undecided on that. Wouldnt mind ASrock, Asus or Gigabyte. Or even MSI. xD AS long as fits my budget of 1k plus minus. xD Thanks guys. hehe. sorry if wrong thread to post here. xD

RAM will work with current motherboards. Dual LAN ports motherboard these days will cost you.

Ah.. Because I see a lot of mobo spec only detail 2933 and then jump to 3200.. lol. no 3000. hahaha.. so i was a bit worried if i bought the ram which comes in a different speed.. and also need a specific mobo.. Yeah, I saw that.. my choice was Z490 Taichi at first, but seems very costly. Its priced at RM1.7k now, cheapest. Others are also priced similarly that range. Probably will reduce the budget for mobo, hence why I changed back to a budget of 2.5k for both cpu and mobo. mobo expected around 1k. Probs can stick to 1 LAN and 1 WiFi. That'll do, but would prefer a Wifi 6 mobo, any mobo comes in to your mind? XD With budget of 1k. haha. xD

MSI Z490 Tomahawk has 2 LAN slots, if I recall correctly.

This seems like a good board, but on shopee only 1 seller.. lol. and not preferred seller. hahaa.. Not sure if lazada has or not.. Sigh. Now a bit hard to look for z490 mobo also..

Cuz those most likely are "ryzen certified" rams for back then with the ryzen 2000 series. but dont worry, they'll work fine. In fact im also using a pair of ryzen ram at the moment. Intel not so bitchy when it comes to ram compatibility.

Ahh.. Okay then.. haha.. xD

2666 - official max supported speed for Intel 6-core Gen8-10 CPUs including the Comet Lake Gen11 refreshes and the i9-9900
2933 - official max supported speed for Intel 8-10 core Gen10 CPUs, and Gear 1 speed for non-i9 Rocket Lake Gen11
3200 - official max supported speed for Rocket Lake (Gear 1 for i9, Gear 2 for i7/i5)

These speeds do not matter on Z series chipset motherboards or B560 chipsets as you can freely overclock RAM on them past these limits.

As for the MSI Tomahawk, why not check Lowyat/Digital Mall or other retail outlets?
