Z790 APEX Availability Overclocking and Playtime Thread : )

[iBruceypoo]

Awsome...Guys. Waiting for my Z790 APEX from Newegg, Did a Pre-Order. So hope It ships after Nov 30th....

Using;
Intel i7-13700KF
T-Force Delta DDR5 32GB 7200 FF3D523G7200HC34ADC01 Memory. Maybe can do 7400 to 7600 without to much trouble.
I'm just tried of buying parts for the last few year's without much success in a moderate overclock.... No matter how much I've read on the these forums.

Welcome ROG brother!

Been having an amazing experience with a Z590 Apex - 11600K i5 every core OC's to 5.5Ghz and pushes Samsung B-die 4800/17 DDR4 mem kit to 5066 17 17 17 34, Hynix DJR DDR4 5333/22 kit to 5600/20 and 5866/21 as a daily OC - so very happy with the Apex boards.

Moving to Z790 Apex trying to improve once again my daily work OC, super-excited new bios for the Apex seem to be arriving every 48hours so hopefully my 7600 mem kit can grab 7600 XMP 1 and 7800. Not so certain my 13600K will be able to push to 8000, but that's ok, planning a 13900KS and Gskill 8000 mem kit for January February of next year, should be capable of 8000 and 8200.

Cannot imagine what it will FEEL like moving from 5866MT/s to 7866MT/s a whopping 2000MT/s wowie!

We should all be receiving our Z790 Apex boards December 1st 2nd and 3rd - gonna be exciting.

Yesterday we had a hurricane move through our area, today we have glorious sunshine in the office, what a change.

Those MDPC-X XXX-white cables are SO BRIGHT! Gotta wear shades.

Can you imagine what a white Apex board will look like in this setup below? OMG! White cables White Bitspower fittings, oh my.

Been using PC keyboards for nearly 30 years and I still have to look at the keys when I type. I would have NO CHANCE on that blank keyboard lol

Only advantage to a blank keyboard I can think of is if coding for a living or writing for a living - long hours at the keyboard. Everyday computing and gaming, no advantage at all, unless you simply like the aesthetic, lol.

The learning curve is steep for a blank board. Very slow at first, then over time much faster than using a printed/labeled keyboard. An additional bonus to a blank board is you can switch layouts "on the fly" from QWERTY to DVORAK which in theory adds even more speed, but then DVORAK is another learning curve in and of itself. lol

Albert says the new blank keyboard will enhance my mental focus and improve my cognizant reasoning along with opening that neural duct to my subconscious creativity.

"Well that's good Albert cuz I need that."

Had to upgrade from 1.25in sorbo hemispheres to 1.5in durometer 30 to isolate the Aquacomputer D5 PWM water pump to inaudible, so now the D5 subassembly sits a bit higher and the tubing runs in and out are no longer parallel still awesome cooling for a CPU only custom short loop.

Along with the Nvidia RTX A2000 12GB workstation card fan isolation, this work rig is SO READY for the Z790 Apex and DDR5 7600 and gen 5 M.2 SSD!

For all of us with a Z790 Apex pre-order.

I guess we just sit together and hold hands and sing songs for 3weeks.
