I already have purchased this memory pack: CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 192GB (4x48GB) 5200MHz CL38 Intel XMP iCUE Compatible Computer Memory - Black (CMK192GX5M4B5200C38)
And just now after reading the "validated memory support list" of the GIGABYTE AORUS PRO ICE memory i figured this:
The non-rgb pack is from Spectek B i have no idea what brand is this, i read someone saying its a "cheap Micron brand (?)"
Is this something i should worry, how bad is this compared to the Hynix version?
I also read multiple comments of people saying this memory would not run at these speed.
They labeled on the document "Speed 5200" will it indeed run at 5200, or is it too much expect it will reach this speed by just enabling XMP?
This machine is for emulation of virtual machines, ill be using Windows 11, my software rely heavily on WINAPI as do the applications im running on graphics acceleration, i'm not using Linux, or running any kind of games.
It will perform "considerable" disk I/O, constantly (re)starting applications, creating/cloning machines, rebooting, etc, not something absurd but far from what a "casual" user perform.
I have no budget for a Threadripper or HEDT yet, old xeon server also would not fit on my use case.
My current build is a 14700k, RX 7600XT 16gb, 64GB ram.
Which this same mentioned use case, i have been able to run 62 VM’s, its using 100% ram, ~90% vram, ~50% gpu, ~80% cpu.
My new build:
I'm also thinking on getting two gen 5 of 1TB instead of one of 2TB and try raid 0 on it, would it be worth? (losing data is not a concern and i could format/disable it at anytime).
I'm looking for recommendations about the motherboard, i have found these:
GIGABYTE X870E AORUS PRO ICE $390
ASUS ROG Strix X870-A $357
ASUS ROG STRIX X870E-E $508
(these prices are after tax)
The last one is so expensive i would like to avoid it unless really necessary.
What best motherboard for this use case?

My new build:
I need a lot of VRAM, gpu use is medium, 2TB is enough for me my machines they use like 4~7GB.
