Z790 hero xmp

[ahfoo]

I have the same problem with my GSKILL 7600 Kit. Also a Hero Z790 Board.

I am not able to load any XMP profiles. Also 6400 is not booting. I have tried the BIOS 0703 from today (I guess)

Is that a error from the Board or can this be fixed from BIOS side? I have only 3 days time left to be able to give back my board to the Shop.

My ME Version is 1825. Is that an issue to run an older ME Version? I getting also a n error when I want to use the MEUpdateTool. Please see picture attached. Where can I find the latest MEupdateTool for my Z790 Hero Board?

Thank you very much

Try setting to XMP mode and manually set your Memory Frequency to the Speed of the specification speed of the RAM, manually set the RAM voltage according to the RAM Spec voltage and test it out. Hope it help.

BTW, is the ram inside the Asus QVL?

LOL, you the best ROG brother.

This thread is off the rails a bit but that's ok, we get emotional about the things we truly love.

OK ROGers, we're all facing a brand new dilemma - the very obvious fact we might purchase a poorly performing Z790 ROG motherboard.

We must find a solution...

Albert and I have constructed a plan of action:



1) The 1st Z790 Apex shipping container is set to arrive at Newegg California City of Industry on November 30th
2) We have a "60-day Holiday Return Window" to work with - return for full refund or another Apex board until January 31st 2023
3) It only takes 2days of testing to know if your new ROG board is a good one or a bad one
4) Newegg even pays return shipping



60days is plenty of time to test and evaluate your new ROG board.

Hello guys, i bought a new pc, i9 13900k, z790 hero and 32gb ddr5 from gskill (F5-7200J3445G16GX2-TZ5RK).
When i activate xmp i get errors on memtest. If i disable xmp i get no errors on memtest, but i wanted 7200mhz not 4800 lol.

I am on the 0502 bios.

It's safe to use the 088 bios?

Thanks

I have the 7600 version of that RAM and with 088 I'm able to hit 7000 but not 7600. I would say try it.

Ok, gonna try, with 7200 i get into windows and all works, but in games (like bf2042) the games crashes because of the memory errors. I don t get bsod btw.

Edit: i set xmp i then switched the frequency to 7000mhz and now i don’t get errors on memtest. I ll stick with that and wait for proper bios on the official page.

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 least of all due to the CPUs. There are a multitude of reasons why this is, however, no vendor can guarantee success and this is the nature of overclocking.


The further we increase frequency, it's not only the memory kit guard-band we are eating into. Any PCB carrying a signal will have some kind of variance. Some of these variances can be dialled out with MRC settings and voltages that are sensitive to small changes, others are limited by physics or component thresholds outside of our control (not least of all CPU variances). Moreover, the IO the kit is rated at is based on both primary and a number of secondary timings which is another reason the board QVL exists. The kits are also binned at stock CPU frequency.

The TLDR would be that when we push the envelope across multiple clock domains on numerous combinations of hardware, one can't expect equal results every time. That said, it's always fun to be able to see just where these limitations lie.

that is true, for DDR5 every small variable can have a really great impact on stability
one of the reasons I insisted to buy the new DDR5 kit w/o any RGB, signal integrity and voltage stability are a bit... better

although they say now that RGB is ok and not influencing at all its performance stability etc, and if so, it's neglectable and so on... bottom point is that it's selling better if it has lights =))
back in the good old days they were more responsible, so the RGB stuff was completely separated from the rest of the PCB...

you bought your Apex, is it a random copy from a store?

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