I just picked up two G.Skill Trident Z5 Royal Neo DDR5 modules, each 32GB at 6000 MT/s CL26. However, I'm aiming for a total of 64GB and I'm curious if anyone has successfully run four of these sticks on either the X870E AORUS PRO ICE or the X870E AORUS MASTER X3D ICE motherboard without stability issues. Can these RAM sticks all run together at 6000 MHz and CL26?

Getting even two sticks to run at those speeds is a challenge. When you add in a fourth stick, it becomes even less likely. You might have better luck if you manually tweak it down to 5600 MHz.
Don't rely on someone else's experience for stability. Your RAM's performance really depends on the specific chips and how well you can tune them. It's doubtful you can keep those speeds and timings with four sticks, you'll probably have to fine-tune settings a lot.
At CL26? Not a chance. Check out Level1Tech's video on RAM configurations; it might give you some solid insights on high-capacity setups.
It's pretty unlikely you'll get it stable with those aggressive timings. The more sticks you add, the tougher it gets, especially at high speeds like that.
Instead of taking a risk with four sticks, consider getting a 64GB kit made for dual-channel setups. They’re available, though they might be a tad slower (like 6000 CL32/34/36). You could also look into a 48GB kit which might offer better speed options.
Yeah, but make sure your motherboard can handle 48GB sticks since most AMD boards are optimized for them.
