I'm planning to upgrade my system to use DDR5, specifically getting the Corsair Vengeance 32GB 6400MHz RAM along with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D. I'm considering the ASUS B650 PRIME motherboard but I'm unsure if there are any issues with it or if there might be a better option out there. Any advice?

Honestly, I'd recommend skipping the DDR5-6400 for your setup. The 6400 isn't guaranteed to be stable at a 1:1 MCLK/UCLK ratio. If it drops to a 2:1 ratio, you'll lose a lot more performance than you'd gain from the extra bandwidth. DDR5-6000 could be the sweet spot for you!
I found this 6000 MHz RAM with CL30, is it a better choice?
