How are you guys all downloading ASRock Timing Configurator? I can't get mine to work on the Z690 Dark Kingpin. Always says access violation right away. Using Windows 11. Is there a specific version everyone is using? I just want to be able to modify my RTL's to what everyone else's settings are at because I don't know how to translate what the BIOS RTL's are vs what everyone has for theirs on ASRock Timing Configurator lmao.

Load the lummi preset 8000, go 58 all core 50 ring no Avx off set. SA 1.3 cpu vddq 1.26, vddq 1.47 and vdd 1.42. If you fail start lowering trefi to 200,000.
Thank you for the suggestion. I will try it tonight. For my own learning, where can I find SA in HWiNFO64?

In addition, if the issue is lack of volts (e.g., error in test 12 in TM5 when running "Extreme1 @anta777"), is there a way of knowing whether to increase SA, VDD2, or RAM VDD, and what is the upper limit of normal for each of these parameters?
 
Hello! Maybe someone can help me.
I am currently working on 8000mhz CL36, but without success.
I initially had a lot of trouble getting XMP to work.

The current status is that XMP runs without problems.
The problem was CPU/socket/cooler contact pressure.
Had used Contact Frame.

The question is whether that is also the reason why the 8000 MHz don't work.

The board and RAM can do 8000MHz.
On an Apex z790 the ram can do 8400MHz.
Tested with a 13900kf.
I am currently using a 13900ks.

No matter what I set - I randomly get Error 2/12/10 1usmus MemTest5

Bios 2.10 - ME 2091

Sorry if this post is in the wrong place.

I'm looking to get one of the three following motherboards: (Z690 Unify-X, Z790I Edge, or Z690 Dark.) Which of the following motherboards will be the best to get?
Based on what I have read through the UnifyX, it seems that with the BIOS version A91, it have improved the memory OC. As for the Z790I edge, I saw the QVL list, and it says that it can do 8000 MHz (I did find someone running it at 8000 MHz).

Looking at the EVGA z690 Dark as it is currently on sale, which make it the best deal to get, but I wonder what I should be excepting to get from it (mem side), and how is the newest bios update that dropped yesterday, did it improve the mem compatibility?

The goal is to hopefully be able to get 7800-8000 MHz stable for daily

The cheapest is the Z790I Edge (ITX and only two gen4 NVME), followed by the z690 Unify X ($20 more) and the Z690 Dark (currently 399$).
Thanks

Z790I Edge 100%
 
Hi everyone. I decided to pick up the EVGA Z690 Dark on sale and am thinking to pair it with a Intel Core i9-13900KF and G-Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-7200 CL34-45-45-115 1.40V (F5-7200J3445G16GX2-TZ5RK) kit. This is intended to be a daily driver for me, and an occasional mess-around-with-some-overclocking platform when I have nothing better to do. Am I making a correct choice here? I feel that Z790 just isn't worth the premium that it commands for any comparable board and really the latest chipset isn't offering too much more on the performance front. I want to note that I am in Canada so with shipping I am roughly spending about $600 CAD on the EVGA Z690 Dark (terrible exchange rate). Chip and GPU (EVGA 3080 Ti FTW) will be under water, custom loop.

I haven't had an EVGA board since the X58 Classified (the original) which was an awesome experience for me at the time, so I am pretty excited :D

I would choose the Teamgroup over the GSkill 7200 @dejanh

If you search my posts you can see an image where I linked the speeds of various kits on my 12900KS + z690 Dark.

I heard good things about TeamGroup kits. Unfortunately my Z690 Dark went Code 00 with VRM fan blasting at 10,000 RPM two days after I plugged it in. I could do any actual overclocking or anything else on it. It is now getting packed up to go back to EVGA for a refund. My excitement was very short lived and because of time constraints I had to move to a different board this weekend. Disappointing to say the least.

What's happen to your board ?? It's sad:( I got 790 dark ( few days ) and it's amazing

Beats me. It seemed like it was working okay at first, then I started getting random instability and reboots, then the power cut out a couple of times, and then it went code 00 with VRM fan spinning at full blast. I tried CMOS reset, fully took everything apart, tried with nothing on the board (no CPU, no memory), even tried reflashing BIOS on all 3 of them to no effect. Flash seemingly goes through, but then the board cycles back to code 00. It's toast. I saw a few others on the EVGA forum with the same issue. No damage to the board at all, just died.

Did you try another CPU ?
 
Last session on single stage before sending the board to RMA, the pcie slot works only in x4, i never benched 3d on it, so it is really strange.

Got exactly the same on my KP Z790....weird eh .
 
Did you try another CPU ?
I tired the same CPU in another board with no issues. I also tired starting up without the CPU or anything just to see if I can get past code 00, but it’s always returning code 00. Nothing works around it. Based on other reports of similar behaviour it’s toast.

Hope it's not happening to me ;((
 
That's what I am doing but I'm going for a refund, not a replacement. First, they will give me a refurbished board, not a new one. I didn't have good experience with EVGA refurbished goods in the past and sometimes required multiple replacements in a row to get a good one. Second, EVGA is not covering shipping and their hold on an advance RMA is in USD which means that each time I am doing this I am paying more and more. Being that CAD to USD is 1.4:1 right now, that's no good. I'll cut my losses here unfortunately.
