Retail apex boards are just very inconsistent and afaik not many people have been able to buy an aqua oc especially for that price. Just the dark doing 6933 1T after a few minutes of tuning is nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bscool Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) What about moding your own bios by removing new u code and replacing older ucode? I did this on both z690 strix d4 and Apex, not sure how it would work on other vendors MB. https://www.overclock.net/threads/12900k-patching-older-ucode-to-restore-avx512.1796070/ Screenshot of bios 9902 I replaced ucode Edited February 24, 2022 by bscool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried per core and disabled them all and also legacy with core count = 0. no luck. reached out to some folks but if anyone has suggestions it is much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to get a dark myself when my notify hits for some more testing, might also reach out to a few people to see if some modding will allow avx-512 support.

thewebsiteisdown Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 It really is a very nice-looking layout. I like that they have better speed memory profiles then the apex. Looks like they thought of everything to help with stability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewebsiteisdown Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Can someone who has access please get me one of these motherboards? I want one at this point because asus is now offering me a refund and I would totally buy one with that money at this point if I can get one.
