You should not have to be tweaking separate individual voltages at this time. The 6400 kit should run with XMP l settings, period.

XMPI should work out of the box on a Z790 Apex no questions asked expecialy a sub 7k kit and no need for tunning, Load Optimized defaults set XMP1 dont touch anything else it should be stable.

A 900 Eur mobo should work out of the box just enabling XMP though.

Could be something from the bios side though - it's weird though that after enabling the XMP some voltages are quite low - the SA voltage is 0.89V and MC voltage is 1.154V...

Please see the sticky in my previous post. No vendors guarantee overclocking.
Please see previous suggestions for these rails. You will need to tune them methodically. Another alternative is taking the PC to a system integrator and getting them to dial it in for you.

Yea but Mr. kvarq had a bad experience with his Z690 Apex and now it's happening once again with Z790 Apex - that ain't fair. 😞

This is objectively incorrect, Bruce. No one CPU will be the same and not all will follow auto rules or predefined settings beyond reference code. This is why the UEFI allows for manual adjustment in the first place. If what you were saying were true, why would the majority of rails be made adjustable for the user? It's as though you've created a pseudo trip point in your mind where you feel things should "simply work". Sadly, this isn't how overclocking works. One would have to have an extremely large sample size pool to form this opinion, and even then it's not an absolute guarantee.
Pointing individuals on the right path is more important than telling them what does and doesn't work. It comes down to an alignment issue that needs to be dialled out. Of course, the more we increase the frequency the slimmer the margins become - but this doesn't mean lower speeds are impervious to instability and do not require adjustment.

Everything is up to date of course from the drivers point of view... bios 0812.
I had like 5-6 fresh installs so far since I bought the board from December :))
And again, I know at least 3 boards that cannot run XMP, manufactured on different dates, so it's not about a batch or something.
Could be bios or maybe indeed or the board defective...
As I stated on the previous page I cannot RMA it because it is bought from abroad, warranty is not valid since Asus warranty is LOCAL, not even within the EU
Could be something from the bios side though - it's weird though that after enabling the XMP some voltages are quite low - the SA voltage is 0.89V and MC voltage is 1.154V...
A 900 Eur mobo should work out of the box just enabling XMP though.
