Dear Community I have 2 questions: Do you recommend an i9-10900K with 10 cores or an i9-11900K for the board? I'm having a hard time, because according to that research, the 10th generation somehow performs better. My setup should look like this: - Processor (still open) - Asus ROG Maximus XIII Hero Z590 - G.Skill DDR4 PC 4400 CL19 KIT 64GTZR Tri/ Z - Aorus RTX 3080 TI Xtreme Edition - 1200 Watt ROG Power Supply - Processor Watercooled My 2nd question: Do the following RAM units fit to the board (I am confused about Mhz) it says in the specs of the motherboard up to DDR4 3200 MHz (OC up to over 5000)? So can I just plug and play the following? G.Skill DDR4 PC 4400 CL19 KIT 64GTZR Tri/ Z Thanks a lot for your help!

I have no experience with overclocking. I stuck to the spec DDR4/3200. 10th generation CPU supports PCI 8x. for M2 memory (9th only 4x). M2 highly recommended.

Does the board come with TPM 2.0 included or does that have to be purchased separately?

Currently, there are very few mainboards or none that have a TPM 2.0 module permanently installed. This refers to mainboards for self-build PCs. However, some offer the option of buying a TPM 2.0 module as a separate module and retrofitting it on the board in a slot provided for this purpose (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Platform_Module#/media/Datei:TPM_Asus.jpg). In addition to physical TPM modules, there are also fTPM (firmware TPM, called PTT at Intel). Intel and AMD have been integrating TPM version 2.0 into their CPUs for several years. To be able to use this, the BIOS of the PC/notebook must support it and it must be activated there. Intel CPUs from the 8th generation onwards usually have TPM integrated. Intel calls this PTT (Platform Trust Technology). AMD has integrated TPM as fTPM in the CPUs since the use of Socket AM4 from 2016.

Let's assume I want to install a graphics card and 2x m2 ssd with an Intel 11900k, but it only has 20 PCIe lines. And with the 3 things, I would already have 24 lines. How would it work that the graphics card also uses 16 and not only 8?

Hier findest du die Spezifikation von Asus https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-maximus/rog-maximus-xiii-hero-model/spec "M.2_2 shares bandwidth with PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX16_2. When M.2_2 is enabled, PCIEX16_1 will run at x8 mode and PCIEX16_2 will run at x4 mode."
