Next batch is around the corner. I guess it’s best to camp evga‘s own website.
plus checking out @EVGA_JacobF on twitter can help as he usually gives a heads-up when stock becomes available ??

With the present ICs available you'd want to go ahead with Hynix based modules regardless. Relatively speaking they can usually
- reach higher frequencies
- tighter timings at the same frequency point
- also scale a lot with cold.
Samsung:
Hynix (ambient):
Hynix (cold)
Hynix Aida64:

I'd like to share a quick overview on the EVGA Z690 DARK KP and it's key features tailored for the XOC crowd - both veterans and rookies. Me personally I appreciate the pragmatic approach of the bios that maximises the ease of use by offering the options that really matter. It goes without saying that with the introduction of DDR5 this gen the team focused a lot on memory tuning which is going to be reflected in many areas within the bios.
Disclaimer: Consider everything given below as “educational material” and provided AS IS. Proceed with caution and at your own risk as only you are responsible for the possible outcome of out of spec stress.
To kick things off I'd suggest to start by picking one of the pre-compiled memory profiles in the collection for a wide range of DDR5 performance points under "Extras" in the top left drop-down menu.
The naming scheme gives you an idea what the profiles are best suited for. Daily - for 24/7, GB3 for benching with "geekbench stability" and LN2 in the naming hints at this profile is meant for liquid nitrogen use on the memory (so don't expect those to work out of the box in a daily config). The LN2 profiles specifically are the exact same memory settings used for our records on hwbot, too. Simply select whatever fits your use case and pretty much all profiles can act as a base line for you to explore and dial up and down depending on your individual components.
In the memory tab I want to highlight the PMIC Turbo Mode that can help you to boot higher frequency dividers on hynix modules. Tipp: In my personal testing Mode 4 and 5 have worked the best for my kits based on hynix. For Samsung you can generally leave it on Auto.
Now since cool things are cool this board is optimized for LN2, both memory and CPU. I've been able to take every 12900K to full pot with two simple options that combine multiple tweaks behind the scenes. First and formost you would go ahead and enable LN2 mode in the OC tab while cooling down your CPU. All other secondary (i.e.) PLL voltages can be left on Auto.
Obviously not all CPUs and IMCs are the same so approaching full pot temperatures -196c on maxed out DDR5 can introduce issues that you didn't encounter on warmer temperatures. Where is the magic button when you need it right? Well again under the "Extras" drop-down menu you'll find "XOC Calibration". Onward we go!
When overclocking your ADL CPU using BCLK seeking these last few mhz you'll eventually find a wall. Then I'd suggest you to take "FLL Override" up a notch. Tipp: I use Mode 2 all day.
Misc:
- Note on CPU VCCIN Aux, the input rail: This one is really strong on this board. I essentially ran all my LN2 scores on 50% VRM capacity for this rail, because one inductor got knocked off during shipping, yet 1.9v was sufficient for all XOC endeavours.
- CPU VDDQ requires attention tuning for 1T vs. 2T, so if you see it being set rather low in a profile on the one hand and set rather high in another profile, then this is intentional. Might require adjustment on ambient vs. cold, too.
Software:
Latest Bios 1.14 that I can highly recommend. For instance it adds uCode selection to re-enable AVX512 support on supported CPUs: link
EleetX 1.0.13.0 for OC within the OS: link
Enjoy!

Hard to tell from a distance. It’s not a frequency and timing combo I usually run. Is this Samsung or Hynix? Are you sure all other timings are correct? If you run it off of a profile make sure to select the correct IC suffix. Did you change the CPU? (Maybe IMC plays a role). Select a different PMIC turbo mode. For Samsung IC you can leave auto btw.
