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.

Z790 APEX installed this morning
UEFI Hynix 2x16 SR 7600MT memory preset no trouble (801).
1.4 VDD/VDDQ/TX
MC VDD 1.35v
all other voltages are board controlled.
Quick 8000MT stability with some manual concessions to sub-timings. Effortless!
1.44 VDD/VDDQ/TX

2DPC board vs 1DPC. No assurances with these things. Recommend opting for a ratio 1 or 2 notches below the maximum validation for best possible chance of plug and play.

Shamino thanks for all of your hard work. I got my Apex delivered and installed last night. Running 8000 CL36 at default 1.4v DIMM voltages and auto everything else. Stable and working flawlessly with the XMP Tweaked profile.
Using 7600 CL36 GSkill kit for reference.
Any major changes are in the 0802 BIOS? Should I bother testing/flashing since I'm on 0801.
