Hey Splave bro, do you even lift? Yea, I think he does. 😛

My little 13600K i5 SUPERCLOCKER lol, should ship tomorrow from Newegg. :cool:

I'm looking forward to admiring the box for 60days until I can test it in the Z790 Apex. :rolleyes: Yes, it's automatically unreturnable even for exchange, but I wanted an early batch sample like my 11600K.

It's all about the 6GHz all core daily OC.


Let's hope 😉

6.0Ghz daily OC with the 13900KS I'll grab in Jan/Feb, if my water loop can achieve TVB, crossing fingers. 😛

Also 13,000MB/s gen 5 M.2 SSD and this Gskill 7600 kit below OC'd to 7800 or 8000 - should make for an amazing work daily, oh yea!

The new Z790 Apex is WHITE? What? People in this thread below saying the heatsinks and PCB are white - looks like gunmetal gray to me.

https://quasarzone.com/bbs/qn_hardware/views/1346031

"ASUS has posted a material promoting the new Intel Z790 platform-based motherboard through the Chinese community BiliBili. ASUS has released some pictures of the ROG MAXIMUS Z790 APEX model, a motherboard for overclocking that has not yet been revealed in its promotional material."

"But what really stands out about the ROG MAXIMUS Z790 APEX is the color. This is the white theme."


Looks like natural brushed aluminum heat sinks and matching gunmetal gray PCB to my eyes.

Congrats on the Z790 Extreme! 🙂 My 13600K just shipped, hoping it has a decent IMC like my 11600K. :rolleyes:

Will it even XMP the 7200 kit? I don't know. 😛

What the heck is this below? 8600Mhz CL34 boot with the Z790 Apex.

Sweet, I'm really liking the Z790 Apex aesthetic, I simply don't know if the PCB is silver, white, gray??? In some photos it looks AMAZING to my eyes.

Just grabbed the Gskill 7600 mem kit in black. :cool::cool::cool::cool: Usually I wait and check the QVL "and all that jazz", but this Z790 Apex board has made me SO NUTS, and all the World Records oh man, and the mobo aesthetic is going to ROCK SO HARD with my setup, the white cables and white fittings with black components dropped on top, I'm in hardware heaven right now, caught the ROG bug once again and HAD TO ORDER the 7600 mem kit. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

My thinking is the 7600MT/s kit for the 13600K, and the "upcoming" 8000MT/s kit for the 13900KS.

I was going to be happy with 7000Mhz and update to 7200Mhz for the 13900KS next year, so man I'm like floating 6feet above the ground right now. 😮

Thank you ROG, this means so much to me, to my work - APEX boards FO-EVAH! :cool:
