What is the best mhz for z790 dark hero

Checkpoint
Level 7

Hey guys,

Almost 2 months ago i made a new setup like below. However I'm having a problem with my RAMs.

Motherboard : Rog maximus z790 dark hero
Processor : Intel i9 14900ks
RAM : G-Skill 4x24gb 8000MHZ TZ5RK
Graphics card : Rog Strix 4090 OC edition

My computer only works with 4200mhz in Intel default settings. I have tried many things like XMP1, XMP2 and manual but except for 4200mhz the BIOS gives an error and the screen does not open.

Can anyone using the same model motherboard and ram tell me how many mhz they are using? Or does anyone have any suggestions to increase the mhz?

Hi! Most likely nothing you can do with this kit!
Choose memory available on the ASUS tested list, here is the link https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-maximus/rog-maximus-z790-dark-hero/helpdesk_qvl_memory/

4x24GB @ 8000MT sounds like you're combining kits. As above, refer to the memory QVL for the Dark Hero. For best chance of success without manual tuning, opt for kits with a frequency 2 to 3 bins below the maximum validated frequency for the density you wish to run.
