Memory Kits and Overclocking
When we set out to purchase the components for our system, we must be confident that all the parts we are buying are compatible. Whilst experienced users may navigate this process with confidence and despite the seemi...
The reason for granular control
Temperature and electrical circuits have always been intrinsically related. PC components are certainly no exception to the rule, in fact, we could say that they are a prime example. When temperatures are increased the...

Speedier storage rarely stands as the initial priority for gamers seeking their next upgrade. Throughout history, enthusiasts have seldom placed it at the forefront. Cast your mind back to an era (if you're old enough to do so) when pioneering with t...
For those unaware, on ROG motherboards in the UEFI under Tweakers Paradise you'll find an option to revert to older CPU Microcode.
One reason you may wish to utilise this is due to Intel's Undervolt Protection (UVP) in later microcode. Causing the...
The memory controller is on the CPU, and 8000MT is a substantial overclock. Nobody can offer you the assurances you're looking for. I've already explained the recommendations and why not to opt for top validated kits, as signal margins become tighter...
There's no magic bullet with these things I'm afraid. That's the nature of overclocking, every CPU is different. Especially when wanting to achieve maximum validated ratio. There are no assurances, and not every CPU will be able to achieve 8000MT.

Make sure to check the beta BIOS over on the Raptorlake Resource thread. What 4090 do you have? I can’t see how it would be a BIOS issue. The KS SKU isn’t that different.
Hi @Yuvaletzi ,
8000MT is tough on 2 DIMM per channel boards, hence why it’s the maximum frequency validated.
For better success in achieving "plug and play" overclocking, consider memory kits that are one to three frequency bins below the motherboar...
