Hey guys, I just finished my 9900k build with the Maximus XI Gene.

From my initial testing, I see that core VID maxes out at 1.299v even if I push core voltage to 1.38v. I have LLC7 as well. Don't...

I gave up and bought the Gene. I managed to get it locally. Was thinking of importing the Apex from Europe / Germany, but I'd rather take a Gene locally. Finally, got all my parts together which was...

Good luck and hope the block performs well.

As for me, luckily, I have a relative in the US who's going back to our country this February and is willing to deliver to me the block. So I went...

Congrats on the build. Thanks I already commented on his post. Hope he replies

Thank you for telling.



Just did a quick google search on this actually. This youtube channel came up. Although these are reference card results. But that could be a good indicator of...

So has anybody from NA or Asia been able to get this board? I tried contacting the European resellers but gotten no reply from them. Most of them don't even ship internationally.

Yeah, I've gotten several replies from them saying 'February' to 'mid-Feb' to 'coming soon' - no exact date. I tried getting them to reply with the earliest or latest release date but no avail.

That's great news, gives me peace of mind that the wait is worth it.

Yikes thanks for the warning. I guess I might have to wait for the EK block and pray it releases mid Feb as they say. Also still waiting for the M11Apex so I don't mind. But if I get my hands on the...

You bought the Barrow block right? Keep us posted, interested on the results. Would probably settle for Barrow or Bitspower. I've stalled my build for 2months+ now. Can't afford to wait til March to...

Apparently I'm wrong and it seems it would take more than a week for it to list at Newegg/Amazon. Looks like it will be indeed February. Well, after waiting for more than 3 months won't hurt to wait...

Yeah I agree, don't know what's keeping them. What about the backplate? I haven't seen any for the Strix

Has anybody else tested Bitspower and Byski blocks? I got the Strix 2080 Ti last week and would love to put this underwater as soon as possible. EK and Heatkiller blocks won't come until mid of...

Damn, lucky you guys. Hope it gets available in Newegg/Amazon before the month ends.
Looking at specs page of Apex

Intel® Z390 Chipset :
1 x ROG DIMM.2 Module support(PCH_DIMM.2), with M key,...

Interesting. Looking at the Specs page of Apex it says the DIMM.2 module uses "PCH_DIMM.2" so maybe it uses the chipset lanes not CPU lanes? That's different compared to the Gene and Extreme where...

Okay, so the Apex is now in stock in Norway apparently and in other European stores. I'd expect a week max before it becomes available in Newegg/Amazon. Not sure if it's going to be retailed in my...

Still no word from Asus? What's taking so long? I don't get it.

What the title says. The "Thank You" card that contains the Call of Duty game code that comes with the GPU purchase is empty! I will upload pictures later when I go home.*


Before I found out...

Yeah, and in my case I would have to buy it internationally from Amazon or Newegg which may take weeks to ship, so I will have to wait much longer. Good thing the Apex is not the only one left in my...

Any chance the Matrix comes with a water block? :D

Can you link me the reviews?

The Gene is surprisingly available here in my country but it comes with a massive premium since only one retailer has it. However, looks like I would have to buy the Apex from Amazon since retailers...

Same here, this and the Strix 2080 Ti + EK waterblock are the only ones left for my build. Hopefully before January ends.

Oh yeah you're right. I thought it was just a regional thing before, because when I browsed the US site it's still there. Now it's gone.

I think the Apex direct competitor is the EVGA Dark. They...

Is it just me or is the Apex listing page taken down?

EDIT: OK it's just me
