0903 is officially out
probably based on beta which has been available since a month or so, not sure if it is day & night, not having too much hope though*

I am curious when dual rank will be ok with this crappy board

plus the power stuff, endless restarts, *RBAR, USB poling rate etc...

looking fwd for the KP Z590 board, can’t wait to throw this board or hit it with a hammer, can’t RMA it since Asus warranty is not at all international, money thrown down to the toilet*

That said, lol

My work apps cannot get enough of the astonishing Hynix 5333 kit. 5866Mhz CL21 5.1Ghz CPU is like something I've never experienced, although my daily OC and personal favorite profile is still 5600Mhz CL20 5.2Ghz CPU, since it requires so much less voltage to run and components remain much cooler over an 8-10hour workday. 5333Mhz CL20 5.3Ghz CPU might be a slightly better profile if you are doing alot of CPU processing, unfortunately when I drop to 5333Mhz CL19, the CPU will only clock to 5.2Ghz. So then, you might as well just go with the perfectly balanced 5600Mhz CL20 5.2Ghz CPU profile which feels almost like a FREE overclock voltage only rises from 1.600v to 1.625v - it's almost a free overclock above and beyond the 5333Mhz profiles, and most definitely the "sweetspot profile" on air.

... the last photo of BOTH kits in boxes is not going to upload properly, sorry about that. 😞

How to overclock the Gskill F4-5333C22D-16GTES mem kit to 6133Mhz. Because you know you want to. 😛

Here's my attempt at a RAM fan setup for the 5866Mhz CL21 5.1Ghz CPU profile, but it's most likely unnecessary. Depends on what temps you're comfortable with.

For me, I don't think I could run a RAM kit all day long at over 38C-40C, even though it's absolutely within spec.

A simple Noctua NF-S12B redux-700 fan which barely pushes any air at all, even at stock 700rpm. Did achieve ok results - the 5333Mhz Gskill kit at 5866Mhz CL21 maintains a steady 34C with the RAM fan offering only a gentle yet inaudible airflow.

5333Mhz and 5600Mhz ram kit profiles - thermals remain in the mid 30Cs with no fan at all. 🙂
