Z790 Extreme + DDR5-7600 XMP = Can't be done?

[itzjonjon69]

Has anyone on the Z790 Extreme been able to run 7600+ XMP on their boards? QVL list some g-skill kits up to 7800. Tried both G-Skill 7600 as well as Oloy 7600 and both can't run stable. I've seen some guys with Z790 hero run it no problem, but I don't know any fellow Z790 extremer's who have been able to run it stable.

Really tempted to return the board and just get an Apex, but hoping a bios update will fix the issue.

Yes, I had to purchase three boards, the third one that I got was able to run at DDR5-7600. I RMA'ed the other two

I would not wait for a BIOS update as my board runs stable with the current 0703 BIOS, so don't expect much from further updates

Thanks for the heads up! That's all i needed to hear Just ordered the Apex, and returning the extreme.

It's pure lottery nowadays unfortunately
either there are bad slots or poor tracers - just the regular quality issues
