i will use this as a collection of test bioses/tools/info targeted towards Raptorlake + z69/790
NOTE for Z690: You must update ME on your Z690 to properly support raptorlake (if you are on dual bioses then you need to do this to both bioses)
1) d/l and install ME driver
https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/03CHIPSET/DRV_MEI_Intel_Cons_ADL_TP_W11_64_V2229320_20220809B....
2) update ME with ME Update Tool (I know there are newer versions but its not up on Asus official site yet so >= this version is fine)
https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/03CHIPSET/MEUpdateTool_16.1.25.1885_T.zip
3) update to Latest BIOS of your choice
Note 2 for Z690: i have some Z690s that are already LOW in battery so you are advised to use a new Battery during this upgrade.

I noticed that on BIOS 0088, my 3090 operates at PCIe 4.0 x8 instead of x16. I switched to the second BIOS on my motherboard, which was set to 0401, and the issue went away. However, that BIOS will not boot my 7600 kit at 7600 (regardless of timings), whereas 0088 boots (via "XMP Tweaked") and is stable with some minor voltage tweaking. So something is off with BIOS 0088 regarding the PCIe bandwidth. This will be problematic for a 4090 running at low resolutions, which is something I will be doing for benchmarking purposes.

Z790 Hero with 13900k + kit 6000 64gb (1 kit)
0031 - pretty stable, but with some games (like the latest NFS Unbound) pretty often shows bluescreen.
0803 - looks stable, but rise my temp to +20C over 0031 bios with the same settings (adaptive power -0.09v).
Currently, the ASUS Z790 Hero system is too unstable to use for games, only web browsing is not crashing...
P.S. Board is not working well, too; it always 403 or 500... need to re-send the message 4-5 times for success... I'm disappointed...

Interesting, because I've been pounding the crap out of my z790 Hero, other than the 0804 being mega flaking on increasing the power draw/temps, 0803 has been fine, don't think it's as good as 0802 was, 0802 was drawing even less power than 0803 with the same settings, but gaming wise it's been completely stable.
I am running different ram than you though: G.Skill Trident Z5 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL36 (36-36-36-96, 1.35V), I'm just using the XMP II setting.
