Please stay on topic if you have a Z790 board in hand

I bought my Apex from Ebuyer.com when it first became available

Hello,


At frequencies where signal margins can be quite tight, these kinds of assurances simply don't exist. The Z690 Apex technical specification states 6600MT max, Z790 is far higher, not...

GPU temps suggest otherwise. A D5 at full tilt would be able to cope with this.

Check for mounting contact again, try the latest UEFI release, and report back.

53 is a memory initialization error. Check for correct DIMM insertion and ensure the CPU cooler is not overtightened.

Hello,

There's no reason a D5 would struggle there. What are your 3090 temps under load?

Check for proper CPU mounting contact and consider using a socket frame such as the Thermal Grizzly to...

Rules change. 13th gen certainly doesn't require as aggressive load-line. Hard to say without directly comparing the two profiles

Try raising VDD and VDDQ to 1.30 - 1.35v.

7600MT is the second-highest officially validated ratio for the Extreme, so it's possible. The signal tolerance at these speeds can be tight.

Check the GPU is fully inserted correctly into the PCIE socket as well as the power cables & adapter.

Try flashing the GPU to the latest VBIOS from the support page.

Ensure you’re using the...

use the tool in the stickied Raptorlake resource thread in this section. The firmware update can be done from DOS prompt or from within the OS

Can I ask what the reason is you need to update for if you're not using a 13th gen CPU and don't require a microcode update?

It's not uncommon in the slightest to lock out roll backs when there is...

Yes, it will be obstructed. You would need to fit a water block in order to utilise the second slot.

Hello,


Can you confirm if the freezing occurs with the system at Optimised Defaults (No XMP)?

5200MT/s is still an overclock. Use Karhu Ramtest to test stability.

Best bet is to contact your local retailer, supply will depend on your region.

Hello,

Everything looks fine. There's no need to change any associated memory voltages if the system is working, auto rules are working as intended. Depending on cooling, temperatures of 90c are...

Hello,

If wanting to utilise the secondary BIOS you will need to upgrade the ME driver and firmware.

Z690 APEX

13700K @ 5.6 / 4.2 all core 1.33v

uncore 4.5

Samsung C36 6000 @ 6400 1T no tuning required. IMC much stronger on 13th gen

Hello, install GPU Tweak III and disable Power Detect. The LED being lit when the system is off is normal.

Hello,

TUF 4090 OC here.

I've only run TimeSpy standard so far, however your score looks fine. See the averages (remember overall is also impacted by CPU score).

Hello,

See resource page here. You will need to ensure you have the correct ME Firmware and Driver

https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?131027-RaptorLake-Resources

It will have almost definitely been the route cause. The firmware and driver is essential for 13th Gen CPU.

The overclock is unstable. *

Try switching to XMPII

6600 can be tough for 4 DIMM boards on 12th gen.

Hello,

Could be a contact issue. Remove the CPU cooler and CPU whilst checking for any bent pins. Reseat the CPU and cooler, ensuing even mounting pressure.

Its potentially an early SP bug on Z690 13th gen support release BIOS, not my CPU so cannot confirm. 13700K arriving tomorrow.
