I tried the washer mod with the Apex. (0.8mm washers) It boots just fine at default speeds, but my RAM refused to run my previously stable 6200 C32 config. Reversing the mod fixed the memory speed issues.

I might try it again with some 0.5mm washers later, but it appears that there is a good reason for the original clamping pressure.

Good info, I highly doubt this is going to work for everyone. Some it will be worse for is my bet. And issues like you had.

Everyday someone posts instability with Asus Z690 + Samsung Memory this needs a investigation asap Iam affected aswell, but seems only Apex gets beta bios this days not even the frigging 1200euros/dollars Extreme, isnt Asus testing all Z690 range?

Its clear as day that Asus Z690 and XMP Samsung CL36 ratted kits are not stable, I archived better stability with increased voltages in SA/MC/VDD/VQD but everyday I fear of losing work or droping out of a game.

I dont mind to beta test if it leads of stability cause the 6000mhz/CL36 samsung DDR5 kit is very very popular would be even more if it was in stock

yes, other v/f points are also affected from my testing, like I will set by usage 1 x55 and v/f 11 +200, sometimes it applies, sometimes default vid is used for v/f 11 which of course is not enough for x55 even to get to windows. also tested v/f6 -40 with by usage 8 x52 and interpolation, sometimes applies, sometimes does not apply, uses default vid, runs hotter

not sure what you mean with "Is the voltage get under same condition?"

if you think its microcode related, then modding old microcode to new bios might work 🤔

EDIT: indeed after modding microcode 12 into bios 0046, v/f offset settings apply at every boot

Was the 1001 bios for the strix d4 wifi more geared towards Sr memory? Just curious because I'm more stable on 0901 with my Dr.

there was no particular bias. the main change was updating to the latest memory reference code from intel.

There must be something wrong in their new code then is my assumption. I started reading into the mrc interesting stuff. Thank you.

I'll be swapping out tuf for strix-a so I'm contemplating the washer mod.

I tried comparing my temps but since you have E cores it's not relevant.
For 5.2 /4.8 cache 1.23v load in CB LLC 4 my max core temp was 70c with avg of 66c.

If it doesn't help it's a PITA to go back as the WB is so bulky and tubes are tightly ran.

I tried e core off and get similar temps(1.24v bios ll6). Ambient was 23c.

What are you using for cooling?

1001 been the best for me so far.... Completely fixed the random performance loss issue that all other bios' had. That fix alone for me was worth the time in getting this bios to be ram friendly for my needs..

"Someone" should start a separate thread and users can post their z690 washer temp results, it would be easier to find and interesting to compare.

Me not that someone, but someone should ;)

Not sure if I should set the AIO to max when testing, right now it is just running and low speeds.
Do you have the pump running at full speed all the time and detached the fans from it?

I just have the AIO set up like it comes out of the box, other than put the fans to pull.. Fan profile to Turbo in bios.

Pump and fans connected like from the factory so they sync together.

Do you use per core or sync all?

I had been using per core and it is when using Sync all i had the issues with ring.

I think part if it also is I run Windows high performance power profile and I see switching to Balance and Power Saving that effects things.

I am so use to the old static all core and static voltages. Old dog learning new tricks ;)
