ASUS Dual is also a nice model, gl.

If there are men out there who are into fatties, then there are definitely women out there who are into shorties

Get a nice fucking liquid cooler for that chip as well.
Make sure you update the board BIOS to the one with the latest microcode (0x12F)before you install the CPU & memory modules.

>Now I am wondering what motherboard to put it in
Z790 AORUS ELITE AX (WiFi6E) or its WiFi7 variant is the feature/value board I'd get atm.

Use this video as a reference if you plan to tweak some settings to help the chip run more power efficiently (includes undervolting section).

>Also what memory speeds work best with it
Compatibility mostly depends on the quality of the CPU's integrated memory controller (IMC).
But I encourage you to be positive and get a 7200MT/s kit if you're building an i9 system.

Have fun tuning the CPU, because it's going to draw a lot of power and heat at the stock CPU settings.

30 minutes without downtime is too long (and its more like an hour at pleb elo aka the genre’s entry point)
Rigid buildpaths that lock down your first 5-10 minutes of gameplay is bad
An explosive economy with no catchup mechanics means you can spend half the game waiting for your opponent to make a mistake in order to let you actually play the game again

I'm rooting for you zoomers to go to war and die for me while I chill at home being a neet.
