Wasn’t the ram frequencies gonna be updated for 13th gen cpus on the z690 boards? One of my friends with Msi z690 board is using 7600mhz succesfully with a bios update only.
*I don’t think this issue is related with z790 upgrade but the bios stability. Since there are people with z790 boards having the similar issues i do not wish to upgrade my board without an official response from asus.
You'll never make it past the memory training if all you did was select the XMP profile and then change the frequency to 7600. You'll need to change a couple voltages for stability, and you'll most likely need to loosen the timings a little bit. Also, the z690 boards aren't made to support that frequency, I don't know if you'll ever get that to post, but I am almost certain you'll blue screen.
As far as your friend, you can certainly get the system to post with that kit installed, however you won't be able to run it at full speed. Ask your friend to send you a screen shot of the CPUz or memtweakit. I can promise you he isn't running that at 7600. Check out Buildzoid on YouTube. I think his channel is Actually Hardcore Overclocking or something like that. He has a lot of videos that you help you understand what exactly is possible. He has a couple in on Asus boards and if I remember correctly he has one at 6600 which I think is the highest Asus z690 will go.
If you want it to post, XMP 1. then lower the frequency to 6600. Also, if you have undervolted your 12th gen CPU you'll need to switch that back to auto... but probably manual and add a little voltage.
