I recently purchased some 6400MHz DDR5 RAM and I'm curious if it'll work smoothly with my AMD 7000 series CPU without any issues. Anyone have experience with this?

You might need to drop to 6000 speed if you can't get 6400 stable at 1:1 ratio, but overall you should be fine with the 6400 RAM.
One thing to note is that running it at default may slow your system down because it might force some of your CPU's internal clocks to half speed. Consider manually downclocking the RAM to 6000 MT/s to keep a 1:1 ratio.
6000 CL30 is a great sweet spot! If you're going with 6400, go for CL32. No worries with AM5 support for the 7000 and 9000 series. Double-check the motherboard's QVL list when buying, but if you already have the 6400 CL32, you’re all set!
Yeah, it should work just fine with most motherboards. Just keep in mind that not all 6400MHz RAM is the same. You’ll ideally want 6400 CL32 or 6000 CL30 for the best performance.
I've been using 6400 CL32 with my 7600X and now with a 7800X3D. It's been running great! Just ensure your motherboard supports it; mine does without needing EXPO.
