That depends on the motherboard.   But the answer will almost always be yes for the motherboards.  Just check the specs.

That CPU supports up to 2400Mhz memory, anything above that is an overclock provided by the motherboard.

Notice it says "OC", with all speeds above 2400Mhz. This is because the CPU doesn't officially support it, it's just the motherboard doing an overclock.

So the motherboard support 3200Mhz memory.

To be sure you memory will run at its advertised speeds, either check the QVL of your motherboard (the list of verified working stuff) or check people's experience with the combination: that way you will know if your memory will run at that speed.

The IMC in the Sky-X chips are awesome.  As long as your motherboard will support it, you're 7800x should not have a problem with it.
