What is the best Lga1200 cpu for this board? 8 cores max? I read that all proccessors to this board only handle 3200? I then must overclock to reach higher speed? Which is the best cpu for that? I now have G.SKILL Trident Z Royal Series (Intel XMP) DDR4 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 4000MT/s CL18-22-22-42 1.40V Desktop Computer Memory UDIMM - Silver (F4-4000C18D-32GTRS).

Hello again. As for the CPU, the top of the range Lga 1200 compatible CPU is likely the Rocket Lake 11900K(f) which is an 8 core 16 thread CPU, the 11700K(f) is also an 8 core/16 thread CPU but with lower Turbo boost speeds. As for memory, XMP should work whatever the speeds.

i like the 10 core 10900k but that´s your choice if ya need more cores.

and this is from product page\everything over 3200mhz is overclock
2x DDR4 DIMM, dual PC4-44800U/DDR4-5600 (OC), max. 64GB (UDIMM)

this mainboard is made for overclocking with 2 dimm slots

Yeah, the only reason I went 11 series was for PCI-E 4.
