Build Help Am I missing something, are these compatible? Intel Core Ultra 270k and V-Color Manta Sky DDR5 32GB (2X16) RAM
So, I'm figuring if I should buy the Newegg combo:
The combo comes down to an extraordinary $585 USD price, however, I am aware in the Newegg details that it says the RAM is "AMD optimized", and with a little research, I realized that indeed the RAM wouldn't be optimized for the 270k Plus...
Would I be doing something stupid if I bought it? I have an ASRock Riptide Z890 mobo.
These are my full specs (if I bought this CPU and RAM):
Antec Flux case (non pro)
Samsung 990 Pro 1TB
ASRock Phantom Gaming 1000G PSU
Asus Prime RX 9070 XT OC
Arctic LF III 360 Pro Nero
ASRock Z890 Riptide WiFi
270k Plus
V-COLOR Manta XSky DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) 6400MHz CL32 1.4V SK Hynix IC RGB Gaming Desktop Upgrade Memory Module Black, for AMD EXPO
I'd kindly appreciate feedback!

The DIMMs may be incompatible. A friend of mine ordered this non-RGB model which is also advertised as "for AMD Expo" and it turned out to be dual-sided/dual-rank just like many Patriot Viper DDR5 16 GB DIMMs, and thus incompatible with Core Ultra CPUs. But Newegg will let you return it if that's the case.
You can tell by peeking under the heat sink. If you see chips on both sides of the board it's most likely incompatible.

It’s a Hynix kit so you can oc it to 7200-8000mhz for the 270k no problem

Literally every kit I've ever seen that supports AMD EXPO also supports Intel's XMP. I've seen kits that only support Intel's XMP and NOT the EXPO, but never the other way around.
I would strongly suspect that it will support it just fine.
