Maximus Z690 and Alder Lake: Modern CPU’s require Modern Overclocking Solutions

[Muad-Dib69]

no it's not offical, just beta. I wrote to gskill to ask why their ddr5 is not working. 6000cas36 not officially supported by asus on their motherboard.

Perfectly explained !!!!!! Thanks Falkentyne.....I know I crossed paths with you quite awhile ago maybe at OC.net ?? Cant remember for sure...I do know it was when we were all trying like mad to OC our 9900K chips

You had some great explanations regarding VID vs vcore ....

I finally managed to pick up a GSkill 2 * 16G DDR5 5600 C36 kit to team up with my Apex n 12900k, cant wait to start "playing" again, although the old 9900K is still going strong in my MXI-E !

cheers

ditto props to Falkentyne, I've been with EVGA for some time until recently switching to Asus due to Shamino's presence and his BIOS support, still have one of his OC'ing guides from a decade or so ago.

rj, best of luck as I have the exact same kit (in my specs) on my Extreme Z690 Extreme running beautifully so far on XMP2.

in this post, is "MC VDD" referred to "Memory Controller Voltage"?

and what is SA?
System Agent PLL Voltage or CPU System Agent Voltage?

guys please help me getting my Corsair 5600MHz C36 running at 4.8GHz at least or I will throw my entire PC out of the window.
I spend 1K on RAM for DDR5 and they go way worse than DDR4memory since I can't evenget crappy 4.8GHzC40 stable.

I have 4x16GB Samsung 5600MHz C36 dominator.

How can I get a crappy 4.8GHz C40 stable on 4 sticks?

but is it safe to run "CPU System Agent Voltage" to 1.25V?
My Asus mobo shows values greater than 1.2V with a warning.
same for the Memory Controller voltage, everything over 1.2 in in yellow (means warning)

I would post your exact memory kit ID as there’s a difference between manufacturing. I’m testing mine now with VDD and VDDQ both at 1.35V as my GSkill kit is Samsung memory. Go to the Asus website under CPU and memory support and check your kit to see which manufacturer is there for that product. The first post in this thread has memory tweaks to try. Tune from there. Hope this helps.

I bought two kits of this
https://www.corsair.com/it/it/Catego...2GX5M2X5600C40
for a total of 4x16GB 5600MHz C36 memory.

is 1.35V safe for Samsung? my kits have samsung too.

That’s the problem. You have combined memory kits. Use one or the other, not both. Â*
