Will a samsung m.2 with heatsink fit under provided heatsink?

A heatsink definitely will not fit under the provided heatsink shield. I removed the heatsink for my WD Black SN850 before it would fit. Please be very careful and use heat and plastic tools if you are going to try to remove a heatsink -- the factory heatsinks aren't really designed to come off and you can easily snap the drive in half or bend it so that it will no longer work.

Does this motherboard work with Kingston Fury KF548C38BBA-32 (32 GB memory sticks, x2 sticks)? The memory compatibility list on their web site doesn't list it, and I need to buy a motherboard that matches my memory.

Your memory's JEDEC Default (Plug N Play) speed and the XMP Profile speed are identical: DDR5-4800 CL38-38-38 @ 1.1V - it's highly likely that you could purchase the Gigabyte Aorus Master and set the timings to Auto or XMP Profile #1 and it would work without problems. If it doesn't, return the motherboard and try an Asus ROG Strix Z790-E or an MSI MPG Z790 Carbon. Good luck.

I have contacted customer support. They require you to create an account, which I did. The account requires you to answer a confirmation email to activate the account, which never arrived, despite multiple resend attempts and waiting 3 days. I cannot access customer support because of this, and therefore, they just lost a sale. I'll go with the MSI "MEG Z790 ACE" motherboard, despite its higher price and slower Ethernet port. Thanks for your answer, Dennis P., at least you tried to help me.

Audio has 1 jack, yet it supports 7.1 how do you accommodate this you need the other plug outs that are not on the back plate ??

I'd say by using the optical port. .SPDF Out.

There was no 2x32GB RAM kit listed as supported, I tired both corsair vengeance and G.Skill Trident Z5 at 5600, none works. Does this board actually support 32GB modules?? 16GB versions do work.

Yes, the motherboard supports 32GB modules. It supports up to 192GB of DDR5 memory across 4 slots, which implies the use of 48GB modules. The memory support includes 1Rx8/2Rx8 memory modules in non-ECC mode and non-ECC Un-buffered DIMM 1Rx8/2Rx8/1Rx16 memory modules, which can include 32GB modules.
