Question 1

Would this work in my ASUS Republic of Gamers Rampage VI Extreme mobo without any issues?

Accepted Answer

I can't answer the part about any issues.  As a platform I think there are issues about the audio on Blu-rays or DVDs in certain cases.  Something about a missing instruction set in the processors.  You might want to wait a little while because the X109XX processors are coming out this month so you can  read some reviews.  They are supposed to be about half the price.

Question 2

I plan to get a 3090... does this cpu pair well with it?

Accepted Answer

It's not the best CPU for just gaming, but I'd doubt it will bottleneck a 3090.  Future tests may indicate otherwise, but especially if you're gaming at 2k or higher, it's not likely this CPU is going to impact gaming at all, even at stock clocks.
