    15:44 ~ there is a slight understanding issue
    Layout of memory is 0 1(X), 2, 3 (X)
    You are on 1 & 3 ~ which makes Dimm 1 closer to the CPU.
    The reason the fan is positioned how it is (could be smaller if ASUS planed to center it),
    Is because fans usually generate most of the air on the sides of their frame, before up to blade design it vortex'es to the center (distance question)
    Soo the way it is atm, means it hits perfectly both memory & Nvme^2 slots while having nothing at the center.
    This includes as a side issue that sides will capture airflow and it definitely wont redirect to the center.
    Thank you for the video~

      ​@@kramnull8962 i talk about ACPI layout, and HWInfo does capture it.
      Re'read my message what i'm talking about & check the timestamp to understand my HWInfo pointing.
      APEX Encore uses dimm slot 1 and 3 , those are the real lables.
      It doesn't matter how its build phyiscally. Bios layout still is 0 to 3, in this case 1 & 3.
      This layout differs by Boardpartner
      He mixed the dimms location up, furthest with closest - hence correction.
      There is no other intention.

      ​@@colemanducharme4453 3 things to clear up,
      Digital Art is a thing and handdrawing exists. No, not everything is anime related just because its in that artstyle.
      Lookup "korean digital art, or chinese digital art" you will find similarities.
      The fan is big, the fan is tested.
      Its operation is ok and video shows this.
      Only issue was that Framchasers mistook the dimm layout and made an opinion on something due to a wrong conclussion.
      It can happen. Reason of comment is that and that only.
      For the fan effectiveness, only remain ASUS engineers know.
      Nothing is done "unfortunate" but with reason.
      Consumer doesnt know air simulation data, and fact is that in such close distance, air leaks to the side of the fan housing - before it either stays outside or centers due to Vortex effect.
      No wrong information written here, and no variable of discussion.
      Sorry dude.

      This is for enthusiasts lol. People who either love to tinker or just want the fastest. You get like 98% of the way simply by getting your dick and balls combo at half the price. 14900k, mid range MSI board and A die kit. Fuck bro you don't even need the 14900k. The 14700k or 14600k is fine, but it's peoples obsession with getting like 5% more frames that doubles, triples, quadruples the cost.

    • @hadleys.4869
      @hadleys.4869 Год назад

      It's just inflation compensation. Also, you get what you pay for with the apex. Prices on everything have gone up pretty much. I picked up a new Apex encore, but after finding out personally that it doesn't help any more with getting better overclocks I wish I didn't buy it and just used my old z790 apex. Bought a 14900k too and wish I waited for a 14900ks. My 13900ks had a better memory controller. Having said that the Apex encore overclocks the cpu better than my old Apex and runs the system agent at lower voltages without needing to hardly increase it for compensating for the cpu overclock. I'm planning on selling my 13900ks and getting a 14900ks when they hopefully come out in January or before then.

  • @strongislandx
    @strongislandx Год назад +4

    i dont think the apex encore being in stock means that they made more. A lot of people just arent excited by the intel 14th gen and most people sticking with their z790 apex. 13th gen z790 apex was a bigger deal because it was a nice jump in performance over 12th gen and was the first revision of a ddr5 motherboard. it was also white and the only white asus z790 board. a lot of people i see went with the apex just for the white board and put them in normal gaming machines and just enable xmp and dont even care to tune their ddr5.
    for some reason my ocd likes not having a gen 5 nvme slot on the board because i dont want my gpu going down to x8 and I like using the first slot for my nvme. But maybe thats stupid and the other slots are just as fast and can just not use the gen 5 slot. idk, i think weird.
    I also think apex boards have always been pretty bare bones. The very first apex had no backplate, tiny chipset heatsink, almost no rgb and its always a bit cheaper than formula and extreme boards and a bit more than hero. has step down lan port, step down audio, its always been that way

    • @strongislandx
      @strongislandx Год назад +2

      @@kramnull8962 so I'm not crazy in the fact that I like my z790 white apex not having a gen 5 m.2 slot for it's primary slot? Might sound funny but because the boards are very close in performance it was the reason that just pushed me to keeping my z790 apex, I don't wanna worry about it haha
      I would much rather have a good gen 4 drive in my primary m.2 slot and my 4090 at x16 than a gen 5 drive and my GPU x8 or a gen 4 drive in chipset m.2 slot and GPU in x16. Gen 4 in slot one and GPU x16 sounds better to me
      I would rather sacrifice some ssd speed than GPU performance, even if it's only a couple percent, stupid GPU was $2k. I want all $2k worth of performance haha
      And to me the apex has always been about sacrificing flair for performance, and I'm ok with paying a bit of a premium over a hero type board for the performance as long as it's not more than a formula or extreme
      We also have to take into account the features for ln2 use which is what allot of the features it has are for, used to use the slow mode switch allot for ln2 and also appreciate the lack of covers for easy insulation and dedicated voltage headers

    Hey, sorry if I got this wrong, but in 8:25 you're talking about the timings that passed 8200mt/s, they were 38-48-48-130. Next clip 8:45, you're talking about how you put the same timings to the apex board, but I see timings on 38-48-48-48, so a tRAS of 48 instead of 130. Is this correct and is it crucial for the test?

The sticks with this motherboard are already stable at 8200 with my 13900k. I can boot 8400 but haven't had time to screw around with that yet. I was previously running an Asus DDR4 board w/ b-die at 4300 for over a year and it was time to get some new toys!

    12:52 Could you attach a louver to it to tweak the air flow. Wouldn't need to be tall off the fan, 1/8 or 1/4 of a inch of molded plastic. When I've done it in the past I used plastic soda bottles, & if you have silicon kitchen oven gloves work great, can use steam or a heat gun as a heat source to mold the fin. I used it to redirect airflow to the stuff around CPUs when they're water cooled since there is no "splash" air from the CPU cooler. The gloves work great when bending hard plastic or glass tubing with a heat gun or a blow touch (for the glass tubing) for custom loops. Nothing looks better than glass tubing.

    In my 13900k I can only run 7600mhz cl36 xmp timings or tweaked 7600 cl34. For the life of me ai cannot run 7800-8000mhz. I know for a fact that it will run 8000-8800mhz on a hand picked 14900k/kf with 8400mhz as a daily driver on g.skill kits. Got my board from someone on HWBOT.

      The Ecore is $50 cheaper, has minor improvements over the original, and is in stock. Want a fan of the white either. And no these 4 dimm slot daisy chain refresh boards that all of the vendors (except msi last I checked) are claiming 8000-8233 etc on the qvl lists are fucking bs. They way they can claim this is ba but they sit there essentially and swap out cpus until they have a top 5 top 1% imc and idk get it to post and claim 8000+ go on asus gigabyte etc and look at all these boards they're claiming this for. Some shit 250 dollar board with a garbage trace layout and just overall pcb have the same qvl as apex or a tachyon?? Yeah right. Msi was the only one not claiming this I think they're qvl was up to 7600-7800 idk why I mean the othes know it's bs and just another way of marketing these boards I mean the godlike does have shit memory overclocking especially compared to any 2 dimm board so for whatever reason there's was more realistic than asus and gigabytes qvl which were just straight up not true. A lot of people are who don't know enough especially with high end kits of hynix adie and 24 bit mdie 8000 being at the most $200-250 these days will get this slap in into whatever mb they bought and at best it will post but be riddled with errors and so unstable their os will get destroyed and require a clean install and most won't know enough to run an actual stress test(another person say "i ran memtest86 and it was stable"and I'll jump off a bridge) let alone if they had a mb and imc that COULD they would also need to thinking with timings and voltages for some hours that NO xmp profile would ever even bother having these set to

Tried a ton of stuff but now I’m maybe thinking it might be hardware not software. Hmmm thoughts?

    What M.2 slot should I use on the Apex Encore for a simple Gen 4 m.2 drive? Is there a way to avoid the PCI lane sharing and still use a mobo slot?

    • @wahlzerg
      @wahlzerg Год назад

      @user-ub9rv3sm3y Thank you for the reply! Just to clarify, you end up ignoring the primary M2 slot #1 (the gen 5 slot) entirely?

    • @wahlzerg

      That is my conclusion as well. The only unfortunate thing is I believe the first slot has the most robust heatsink. But Gen 4 drives really shouldn't be getting that hot anyway.

      I find the cable bar in the 5000D Airflow with 3 side fans blowing into it redirects plenty of air onto the RAM. At 8000 it never breaks 60C. TBF, there are three fans in front, top, and one in the rear to help get air in and out creating positive airflow and keeping everything flush with ambient air.

      48gb 8200 kit should be 1.4-1.45 vdd/vddq depending on MC SP, will have to test. If the reported dimm Temps get over 50c there will be a higher chance for stability issues. Setting trefi higher makes the memory more temperature sensitive for errors.

    first off, amazing tshirt. Then, after watching many of your videos it seems to me your best z790 is this one, you always use it for your tests of ram speed at 8k etc. I am wondering should I go for this one or perhaps check out the MSI MPG Z790 ACE MAX? I have not seen you review any MSI so far. The only thing I am concerned with, it's the post assistance from Asus, a lot of people are writing to complain about it. My original choice was the dark hero for aesthetics but after seeing your review and the limit of 7400, I will steer clear.
