CPU i9-13900Kf (SP 96)
RAM G .skill 48GB 8000
MB ROG MAXIMUS Z790 APEX (BIOS 2202)
XMP1 and XMP2 are less stable
For example: Battlefield 2024 and Cyberpunk 2077 will all crash~
I am not a person who is good at BIOS field and testing stability with software.
I hope you can help provide a rough setting direction so that I can use the 8000 frequency stably.

Are you using one of the ram kits below?
04-23-2024 06:39 PM
My current kit is: F5-8000J48F24GX2-TZ5RK
Is this the report?

68 is quite low, which could indicate the CPU IMC is fairly weak and may not be able to achieve 8000MT.
Set:
XMP II
Extreme Tweaker> CPU System Agent Voltage 1.3v
Extreme Tweaker > Advanced Memory Voltages > Memory Controller Voltage > 1.5v
Extreme Tweaker > Advanced Memory Voltages > VDDQ TX 1.46

The adjustment has been completed. VOD VODQ remains at 1.35.
Tweak Mode 2 Does this need to be adjusted?
Is VDDQ TX 1.46 the voltage of IVR?

1. Incease VDDQ / VDD to 1.4 - 1.45v
2. Turn off Tweak Mode 2
3. VDDQ TX is IVR, yes.
If still crashing, set CPU System Agent to 1.23v.
However, unfortunately, the MC SP score is quite low which potentially means 8000MT is out of the question for that CPU.

Is there any room for fine-tuning?
I'm still playing now and it crashes after about 10 to 20 minutes....
It also crashed directly when executing the game many times...
Or do you have any suggestions as to how low the frequency should be?

That's an open-ended question and not one that's easily digestible if needing to ask. Voltage alignment where adjustment is needed for overclocking can take time and a methodical approach, as well as a reasonable understanding of what the voltages do.
"How low" isn't anything anyone else can tell you. Given the MC SP score is fairly low, consider lowing the DRAM Frequency to 7800. If still unstable lower until you're able to achieve stability.
I did cover 8000MT last year in this article, but obviously, your mileage will vary.

If I drop to 7800, will the voltage section remain at the current setting?
04-24-2024 01:57 AM
Correct. Apply XMP II > adjust DRAM Frequency to 7800MT > Save and Exit.

Okay, I will continue to try, and I also want to know, only for games, will the impact of running XMP only 5600 and 8000 be very big?
