Hi S.F.,

Could you post your voltage settings for this if you have a second? Would really appreciate it!

Hi Marco,

TXVDDQ 1.4v, MC 1.4v, SA Auto (or 1v), MVDD 1.76v (bios set), MVDDQ 1.72v (bios set).

Change to other CPU, DDR5-8267 Geekbench 3 passed! And 8000 TM5 Absolut all done on hot ambient

you need hci rerun haha

this is bug ?

Thanks, i will make normal OS just for HCI Memtest then

Here is TM5 Absolut 7800

Just got it today, quick run, very easy to use

My best memory score so far, DDR5-7800 32-43-43 Very Tight!

Cool clock for SS!

DDR5-7733 32-43-43 Very Tight passed on hot ambient cooling!

SA above 1v issue fixed with 0006 bios, all SA, MC Voltage, TXVDDQ is auto now with Hynix M Die passing 7000 memtest.

Hynix M-Die 7000 Memtest possible with 2103 Official BIOS, this bios only limitation in my case is above 1V SA unstable for memtest.

 Did you update the Intel ME firmware as per the post above yours and that still not fix the problems? (2. Update ME version to 16.1.25.1885v2)

With BIOS updates usually all you need is apply the latest one, I never had any problems skipping a few in between versions.

I never have those either, but this fix works on my board no problem. Above fix with flash custom ME is works but causing SP reading invalid and have error V/F Curve. So better use official ME.

some rog guys found out, if you experience some issues with an RAPTOR LAKE cpu in terms of qcode 23 hangs or ratio change wont apply, you can try to flash latest ME Firmware to resolve the issue on the Z690 APEX.

After i did check again, if anyone use raptor lake please dont skip 2004 BIOS, because this is very important update included :
"1. Improve system performance
2. Update ME version to 16.1.25.1885v2
3. Many ME updates and optimizations for the next-gen CPU are included. This version does NOT allow rolling back to the previous versions, not even via USB BIOS FlashBack™, to ensure better compatibility.

After flashing this all my problem is gone including stuck at 23 debug code, or nvme on M.2_1 not detected, etc. So before flashing newer BIOS flash this first please.

I am strongly against it.

Monster workstations and servers getting easy points.

Points that depend on money, not skill.

Can't we leave the damn platform steady and unchanged ?

Unless there are reasons beyond the obvious.

Agreed, but there is solution just for desktop platform WR points.

[WR Boints the return ?]

WR point should be a thing, its the best score on this bench doesnt matter how much core or cooler, its just have to be the best score on that bench. Maybe limit it only for top 3 WR points, before top 3 doesnt get any WR point.

I used this windows xp image and use SATA6G_E1,E2 port

 

dont forget

Copy this file to the path below

Windows => System32 => Drivers

Try this and put in Asmedia SATA slot, not Intel one.

[Deliberately disabling GPU Cores for 3D Benchmarks]

Just some thoughts, maybe if futuremark/UL not supporting older 3DMark, some wrapper like benchmate can be good idea? Plus this will ease for newcomers to set some tweaks.

Congrats, great job!!!

[Deliberately disabling GPU Cores for 3D Benchmarks]

I dont bench multigpu a lot, but dont remove them, i enjoying seeing how the score created and some of them like 3DMark11 for Physics score actually scale a lot from memory more than cpu! You can try that! Im 3DMark11 big fan here, but i like 01, 03, 05, 06 and Vantage too, so dont kill them.

[ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z690 APEX | APEX 14]

6933 is possible with TM5, but more limited by my memory temp more than anything.

Cool bios! I tested this few days ago actually this bios is the best for now, even beat my 9902 in my test. Perfect!

Thanks to speed.fastest I was able to do Command Rate 1 at 6400 mhz - unbelievable! In fact, I was able to replicate his screenshot almost verbatim. What a board! Thanks, man! ? See below:

Im glad it helped, its lilttle tricky to find daily stability testing on ddr5 in my test too! I can boot 6600 1T and doing benchmark but no stability in TM5.
