XMP ISSUES on ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI II

[KaoticKarma]

Using the ASUS QVL list I have purchased a new build. 

ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI II
GSKILL F5-8000J4048F24GX2-TZ5RK     2X24GB 8000mhz RAM Kit
Intel i9-14900K
MSI SUPRIM 4090 Graphics Card

XMP does not work at all. Profile 1 or 2. The system will not boot, just post in Safe Mode if either XMP profile is enabled. 

I have tried XMP Tweaked and lowering the speed all the way down to 7200mhz.

I have tried setting to manual and increasing VDD, VDDQ and IVR voltages all the way up to up to 1.41

BIOS have been updated to 0801 which is the only version listed on asus support for this board. 

I have swapped out the board and ram to ensure it was not a hardware issue. 

Kinda at a loss at this point. I have spent over 30 hours troubleshooting this with no answer. ASUS support just keeps creating cases to escalate but havent heard a response back on any of them. 

I know multiple people that have the exact same build I have that they purchased pre-built from Meta PC and Paradox that are running at 7200mhz with no issues, so I know its possible, I just dont know what I am missing here. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

7200 should work normally. 8k out of box depends on imc and voltages and so on. So it can be possible that it doesnt work. 
Do you have original ILM or a Contact Frame ?

I have a contact frame for my CPU if thats what you mean. Im not sure what an ILM is. I can only get it to pass a Karhu Test at 6000.  And thats with turning the voltages up quite a bit from the 1.35 XMP settings. I dont know what he issue is. Ive spent 3 days trying to figure it out at this point.

ILM is the original Load mechanism from intel/Mainboard Vendor. 
Replace your contact frane with the original one and all problems will be gone. 
The Problem with the Frames is to tight to loose everytime problems.

Oh I started with that and still had issues. Thats how i ended up with the contact frame. I was told it would help the issue that the ILM didnt hold the cpu tight enough,
