Hero Z690 Got 4 sticks of DDR5 RAM to work in XMP at last!

Originally on my Maximus Hero 690 with a 12900k and 4 sticks of  DDR5 Corsair Vengeance 4800 mhz when it first released until TODAY I have never been able to get XMP to work without boot errors / BSOD etc.... I did manage to get it working at 4200 I think it was once but a new BIOS ended that.

Yesterday I installed the 14900k into my 690 on the latest BIOS 2802 and today I decided to enable the XMP as an experiment at 4800 and it worked, I ran a 3DMARK test and it seems stable, cant believe it.... https://www.3dmark.com/spy/42854778  

Just thought I would post in case others are in the same boat...
Peace

That's good to hear. Gen on gen, generally the IMC will become more capable.  Intel officially supports 4400 MT/s if 4 modules are populated, so you're still achieving an overclock in this configuration.
