Hello

I bought a Ryzen 7 9800x3d and ordered an Asrock x870e Nova motherboard.

I don't know what RAM I should buy to make it work, the motherboard supports RAM up to 8200MHZ, has 4 slots and I would like to use all 4 in the A1B1-A2B2 way in a quad system - will it be useless? ( I heard then it will be limited)

Can someone help me choose the right memory? the more I read about it the less I understand, I would like memory with a speed of no less than 7200mhz after all the board supports even higher speeds but on the other hand I read that this processor does not like high speeds and that it should be paired with a maximum speed of 6400MHZ - that's a bit poor..

I found a few DDR5 modules e.g. CL36 8200mhz, or CL 34 7200mhz all 2x16 with EXPO support, if I bought one of them 2 pairs and installed it in A1B1,A2B2, would the memory not reach its full potential?

thank you in advance
