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's the best Asus ROG DIMM.2 photograph ever! 😛

Mounted an Intel Optane 32GB [low capacity 6microsecond superlow latency] M.2 SSD onto the DIMM.2 riser card and using only as a scratch drive.

How do you get your hands on a brand new Asus Z690 motherboard in August? :confused:

Heck if I know, but someone has one, along with a brand new 12900K Alder Lake processor.

Which means the Maximus XIV (14) Apex is just around the corner. lol Hooray! :eek:

Wonder if the new Apex 14 will be E-ATX since all that PCIe 5.0 lane bifurcation needs some space...

Added CPU overclocks to the 5333Mhz Hynix kit today.

This is what works with air-cooling and the Maximus XIII Apex:

5866Mhz CL22 DDR4 and 5.1Ghz CPU
5600Mhz CL21 DDR4 and 5.2Ghz CPU
5333Mhz CL20 DDR4 and 5.3Ghz CPU

Just hit 5600Mhz CL20 (down from CL21) with 5.2Ghz CPU! This is unbelievable! 😛

Thank you Shamino, you the best! 🙂

Wow, just hit 5333Mhz CL19 (tightened from CL20), that feels really good, but also hit a wall - only 5.2Ghz CPU. Cannot hit 5.3Ghz with the 11600K and these timings, oh well.

Now it's time to tighten the 32-32-52 and tRFC of 980, attempt to drop that down to tRFC 600 or so.

5333Mhz CL19 on air, wooh! 🙂

I dropped back to Aura lighting control. Because Armoury Crate is SO MESSED UP!

So glad I kept a copy of simple aura lighting, it's glorious and it shines in blue. 🙂

I've been so focused on the Gskill 5333Mhz Hynix kit and the outstanding responsiveness it offers my work apps, not to mention the insanely fast boot times of 4.5s-5.0s, and still planning on tightening up the other primary timings with that kit from XMP other than CL, buuuut. Before I got the Gskill F4-5333C22D-16GTES kit, one month prior I had the Gskill ultimate b-die F4-4800C17D-16GTRS kit, which is also a beautifully performing mem kit.

If you prefer b-die or if your apps/games prefer lower latency vs superhigh memory clocks, this kit will make you extremely happy.

It runs 4800Mhz 16-16-16-37 and the outstanding 5066Mhz 17-17-17-37 profiles with ease on the Maximus XIII Apex board.

I've even run the kit way down in gear 1 3866Mhz CL14 briefly, a wonderful mem kit.

At 5066Mhz CL17 the Read Write Copy speeds are brilliant.
