very nice, have you tried setting all 4 voltages to 1,4v?

1.53v VDD and 1.53v VDDQ is the lowest that can post and stay stable. The other voltages are completly safe and i don't want to touch them if they work tbh.
I am now working on 6933 CL28 because 6800 CL28 did work fine at 1.55v but need to figure out the voltages for that.

I'd like to delve into DDR5 overclocking with Hynix ICs.

I'm trying to keep the motherboard on a budget so I have a few options:
  • MSI Z690 Unify-X $267, used but in good condition, the owner can pass 7400 on y-cruncher VST. One pin on the top ARGB header is broken tho (but there are 2 headers on the motherboard)
  • MSI PRO Z790-A WIFI $307, I don't have any complaints with this motherboard, I had it in Z690 DDR4 and it was awesome. Hopefully I'll be able to hit 7000/7200 on it.

More budget options:
  • MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI: $258
  • Asrock Z790 PRO-RS WIFI $248

It feels like with last gen and DDR4 the motherboard barely mattered since it was mostly the IMC but now it's a bit of a headache trying to pick a motherboard. Appreciate any suggestions, thanks.

Hi there , a few weeks ago i bought an ASRock Z790 Steel Legend WiFi for $249 US on newegg. The Board is solid and can do 7200Mhz easy on Hynix A-Die. I can safely recommend this board based on my user experience. I also have an Asus Apex Z790 and ASRock Aqua Z690 OC 2 dimm motherboards , only good for benchmarks as they will do insane ddr5 speeds. But for normal use , gaming , web browsing , videos , etc... that Z790 steel legend is perfect. Also the Z790 Steel legend does have a better , beefier vrm that the PRO-RS.

Oh, hello there too :) I must say it's very reassuring to me that it can do 7200. It costs slightly more than the MSI Z790-A, at $317 from NewEgg, since VAT is included in the price. My friend that's selling the Z690 Unify-X for ~$267 also has the Z790 Apex and I got to play it quite a bit. With all honesty I wouldn't want the Apex for a daily system because knowing myself I'd probably get stuck down the rabbit hole of chasing top bins of CPUs and A-Die DIMMs just for benchmarks. I think he did something like 9200MT/s but limited to only like 4GB available for the OS, I personally don't want to get carried away and would happily settle for something that will do 7000~7200 and then tighten the timings.

My CPU is only a 13600K, not sure if beefier VRM will matter in my case lol but never the less it's a nice bonus.
If I get the Unify-X it would come out almost cheapest option, can do 7200+, except my idiot friend broke one of the pins on the top right ARGB header.

I just picked up some G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 CL38-48-48-128 1.45V 32GB (2x16GB) a couple months old, second hand on Ebay for only $200 US. Only one that bided, this has made my week!

The lack of enthusiasm with the sale is probably a mixture of things like AMD only needing 6000 EXPO, and most of the 4 dimm boards with Intel only getting 7200. Also cheaper ram in the market like Patriot 32GB Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5 8000 MHz and speed vs price coming right down.

I'll get rid of the cheap hynix greens, get the Raptor refresh with a better board, the IMC should max the ram out. This is going to be fun..

I have that motherboard. Only got my 2x32 A-die to 6461 MT/s stable, seems like a good motherboard does around 600 MT/s with dual rank memory.

The unify-x is probably better.

Thank you.
Are 2x32GB Hynix A-Dual Dual Rank? Another friend of mine bought GSkill 6400c32 2x32GB and according to the serial it's A-Die. Running on MSI Z790 ACE, I asked him to open Taiphoon Burner to verify if it's dual rank and he got a blue screen trying to open Taiphoon and ever since he been scared to open that app LOL. This got me wondering if somehow 6400 dual rank simply isn't stable on his motherboard or perhaps it was just coincidence.

Just for those interested in pad thickness setup for Bitspower DDR5 kit.

I had to tear down my heatsink twice because it was not sitting centre with the heatsink.

I figured out the optimal thickness so that under clamping pressure, the sticks do not slant.

The most important pad for this setup is the empty side of the stick. There is a PMIC trace layout and you need to put a 1.5mm thick pad around 2cmx1.3cm (Be careful it does not overlap with the lower part of the heatsink which sits higher or you will have problems clamping). If you do not have back support on the PMIC with enough thickness, you will end up slanting the modules under pressure so this PMIC pad levels the entire stick once you start to tighten it down.

Just by adding the PMIC thermal pad on the rear with 1.5mm thickness allowed me to drop 3 degrees more on SPD Hub temps. I believe there is better pressure on the PMIC on the front due to this back support. The entire setup now is solid as a rock and does not wiggle or move despite repeated installing and removing of the rams.

Summary of what I used :

RAM Kit - G.Skill 7800C36 Kit

Front RAM chips - 1.0mm Gelid Extreme Thermal Pad (4.5cm x 1.0cm)
Front PMIC chip - 1.5mm Gelid Extreme Thermal Pad (2cm x 1.5cm)

Rear Ram Chips (Empty) - 0.5mm Gelid Extreme Thermal Pad (4.5cm x 1.0cm)
Rear PMIC traceout - 1.5mm Gelid Extreme Thermal Pad (2cm x 1.3cm)

Also, I pasted some thermal paste just above the green line as outlined below for better thermal transfer. Hope this helps you guys out if you are using the same kit.

Of course it's dual rank.

You can get 2x32 stable at 7200 with good motherboard and imc, i have neither.

Any tips on how to get this (XMP Tweaked in BIOS) option stable? Tried Anta777Extreme and it threw 2 errors in total but I noticed the rig froze on idle after 5.5h.

Its not coincidence because MSi the worst boards for high clocks

Guys what reason would be for trfc2 not going any lower than 500, lower than that and it won't post, it only happens on the latest beta bios for the msi z790 ace (1.41) I know it's beta but can I make it post? Raising a specific voltage or something
