Hi, I just assembled my PC with the Z790-A Prime wifi, intel core i7-13700K and corsair vengeange DDR5 16x2GB 5600. The Bios does not show AI OC Guide and F11 has no effect. Is this feature missing on this model? In the specific bios manual for the Prime it says instead that it should be present.

It's a mid-high range MB, it has 16+1+1 60A power stages, not much different from the Rog strix which has 16+1+2 70A power stages.
The VRM heatsinks are also quite similar.
I think Asus didn't include it also to justify the price difference.
At the moment, with the current 1663 bios I can't even use EZ tuning because it crashes the system, so for now no automatic OC.
Who has and uses AI OC works well?

Hi, the Prime isn't an ROG product and is considered entry-level in the stack. Less PCB layers than the premium boards, so DRAM frequency range is reduced. Less OC-centric features, etc. Much like you'd expect for paying less.
