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.

Quick question Is Asus mobo dimm A always weaker than the dimm B? or Its my CPU's Issue? I can only pass yc test (N64) for 15 iterations on dimm A at 8000mhz, but on dimm B at 8600 mhz,

Not really an ASUS thing, just generally. But if there's perceivable variance it's usually the outer slot as there's less snaking. The IMC needs to be able to run both, too. With both channels and higher density there's more bandwidth to cope with.

thanks for the fast reply, so you reckon its IMC issue? based on Cannikin law I guess I can only do 7800 maximum if I'm running both

Hard to comment vicariously. You should be able to dial some it out. Which memory kit?
11-27-2023 02:39 AM
hahah ok I would try my best lol, Ram is the Gskill 8400 kit
11-27-2023 03:14 AM
Ah, ok. You can try some of my settings a few pages back. Might help you get some of the way there.

1702 on z790i so far so good with 13900KF and 14700K. Updates, boots, runs cyberpunk
12-09-2023 05:33 AM
1703 worse than 1702. 1702 managed to train 7200 memory at 7000. 1703 only at 6800.
Both are worse than 802 which allowed to train 7200 at 7200.
