Aorus Z790 Elite X Gen review - BEST 4-dimm for DDR5 overclocking?! Watch before buying fast DDR5!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 авг 2024
- In this video I review the Gigabyte Aorus Z790 Elite X Gen WiFi 7 and discuss why buying fast DDR5 7000+ kits is a waste of money (most of the time) and why new Z790 generation of boards like Gigabyte Aorus Z790 Elite X should change this.
This video sound better at 1.25 speed :)

Please subscribe, I want to make more videos and that motivates me the most. It is free and really helps.
Video sounds best at 1.25 speed! Any feedback is appreciated.
IMPORTANT:
Please do not buy DDR5 8Gb modules. Just don't.
Non-K CPUs cannot overclock DDR5 as far as K CPUs. 6000 Mhz is usually the limit for them.

Your videos are great quality 👌 👏 very good
hynix a die and the relatively newer Hynix 24 bit mdie
thanks for making this video man was very curious about this!
This video was super duper helpful. Thank you :)
Dude, your English is better than most native speakers so don’t u worry about that 👌
Also I have to say for only having 2 videos on your channel your video structure, segment and information pacing is impressive 🙌. Genuinely! You should definitely keep at it m8.
I should say that I clicked on your W790 video. Seemed like something I’d find interesting, which I did. So seeing how well constructed that video was I figured I’d find lots of other videos. U know taking for granted that u had several 1000s of subscribers and plenty more content..but 😳..no only the this one. 🤯
Well I hope I’ll see more videos from u.
Thx for the video.
✌️🖖
Your voice is great man. I like the way you speak very much. Great review.
This guy replying to almost every comment, very knowledgeable. You got a new subscriber, well done mate.
Thanks!
Very professional, it suits to be much bigger channel.
People are barely subscribing, turns out views and quality do not directly translate to channel subs, nobody cares.
@ExplainsEng It will come, now is maybe dead season between big lunches, but when new AMD and Intel generations come, it will pay up having quality content presented on new way. Graphic cards can not atract so much content, they are simply too expensive just for gaming.
Thanks for your video, Man. I purchased this motherboard, along with 64gb ddr 5 5600 mtz ram. Cpu : i7 14700k. Cooler master psu. Put it all together. The darn thing will not boot. No matter what I try. I have ordered an Asus Motherboard replacement. Suspecting it's the Gigabyte mobo that's the problem. 😕
Replace the ram. No need to replace the board, update the bios via q-flash plus button. Get 2x32 GB 6000 CL30 or CL 32 sticks instad of these weak corsair ones.
Great video! If definitely looks pretty easy to use.
Between this motherboard and the MSI z790 Tomahawk (DDR5), which one would you pick for an intel i9 13900k?
These are the other components of the pc:
- corsair 1000w gold plus
- rtx 3090 fe
- Corsair Vengeance 64 gb RAM 6400 mhz CL32 (2 x 32gb)
- Samsung 990 2tb M2
I'm using the pc mainly for video editing (premiere pro and other adobe software).
Thanks!
This one. You can get to 6800-6933 mhz if your 2x32 sticks are Hynix a-die with manual overlock.
@@ArtyomExplainsEng thanks for your reply! Much appreciated
Watched this video after watching the W790 video even though I'm not much for overclocking. Digging the presentation, keep up the good work!
Thanks!
I want to do lots of multitrack audio recording using VST instruments so latency is the real issue for me. How much latency do you get on audio functions on this board?
Don't you connect them via a separate audio interface card?
What is your memory performance score in geekbench3 with this adjusted 7600 setup?
Even the free version is fine if you have it. Just curious.
Any chance of running geekbench 3.4.4 on free 32bit test to see what your memory perf score is?
I just ordered this mobo for my build (I9-14900K) along with 32G G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5-8000 CL38. I'm no RAM expert, so does one just select the correct timing (38-38-48-128 1.45V) in XMP booster, regardless if it's Micron, Hynix, or Samsung? Or is there a diff. way to get to the 8000? I'm afraid I'm a bit ignorant on this stuff.
No. Each chips have own timings. Not to mention that only hynix a die can reach 7000+. Anything than hynix is not good.
@@ArtyomExplainsEng Thanks for a quick reply. Even though the board says it can use up to 8266, it appears 7800 and below are the only ones stable at the moment. If that's true from your research, I'll exchange the 8000 for the 7800's...and save $50. I wouldn't know the bloody difference anyway. Worth a sub to me, thanks! And what does Hynix a die mean anyway? Geez, I've really lost touch over the years. I just saw your pinned comment and what do I do? Ask a question that you say 'Just Don't'. Good grief.
Nice overview. Hope you made another video showing more better speeds up to 8000 MHz.
No 4-dimm board can reach reliable 8000 speeds, that would actually hold multi hour stress tests
4 stick ram video would be nice cannot wait
On a few weeks, probably. Still waiting for another 2x16, got the 4x32 already.
Умничка Артем!
I just bought this Mobo to pair with a i7-14700kf. I bought 32 gig of 7200 ram, hoping I dont have any issues.
I have the same board and have 7600 CL34 stable in Karhu but struggling to get it stable in Ycruncher VST. Curious what votage you used for SA?
Almost never more than 1.2v, it is the sweet spot.
@@ArtyomExplainsEngI'm running this same board with i7 14700k, get stable vst on y cruncher but occt finds errors in under a minute, I'm running the xmp1 with the enhancements disabled what can I try to stabilize it?
Thank you
Edit the memory is rated 7000 cl32.
I have the Elite X with a 14700K and 3060 oc gpu would this be the perfect motherboard? or what would you recomend?
If you already have it why think of something else? :D
Can you mention the CL and rank/organization of the modules?
The ones I use in the video? Team group 7800 CL38, 2x16 single rank.
Да, про память с 4 планками действительно очень мало информации) я думаю, такое будет полезно даже тем, кто не заинтересован в данной конкретной плате
running 7000 on my asus z690 prime a with an 12700k with corsair vengence 7200 hynix- a die, ran 6600 xmp on an asus strix b660i on 12100 and got the m-die to run 7000 on my 13900kf.
so 12gen with a pre z790 board is not necessary to hit over 6000mt/s
alway get an itx board in persuit of ram oc/tuning as they have at least 8 but for most part 10 and for msi and the new gigabyte 12layers.
Is it true that on this MB, if you want to change or having access to your M.2 SSDs, you'll have to take off the GPU ? And for taking off the GPU, often you would need to take off the CPU cooler ? Wow ! It doesn't make sense. Why not having all M.2 separate ?? 😮
I had a 360 aio and I definitely did not have to take it off the cpu to do anything with m.2. Unless you have a huge air cooler, but it would block the first m.2 on any board. I do not think the gpu blocks any m.2 but installing m.2 would be less convenient for sure with the gpu in the board.
Давай давай братух)
I have the MSI z690 Unify ATX 12900k Team Group 7200M/T CL34, using the ram at these speeds I can run 6800 also 1.36v VDD 1.30 VDDQ
Can you fecommend a Z790 for ram OC to 7800? I have a 2×16GB 7200c34 Hynix A die kit
Asus Apex, Gigabyte Tachyon, MSI Z790i Edge (itx). Nothing else will get you a sure 7800 and above.

Hi. Z790 ud here with latest F9 bios. If i raise the vdd vddq voltage above 1.42, the pc wont boot no matter what latencies and freqs.. any idea why? Seems like something like high voltage mode is not enable or something,
Hi. This will depend on the cpu and ram you have. What are you using? And z790 ud itself usually caps at 6600 mhz.

I have i7 13700k and aurus z790 alite ax motherboard and g skill 16x2 = 32 gb 7200mhz ram after enabling xmp in bios the cyperpunk 2077 crash do you have any sulotion for it ?
update your bios throw out your 13700k(or sell it) buy 14700k or 14900k and pray you have stability at 7200 XMP. IF not you will need to know how to tweak timings/voltages in your bios.
Hi. Change the speed of ram to 6800. Go to the bios-advanced mode-tweaker find ram speed and set it to 6800. Should be just below xmp. So it will use settings from 7200 xmp, but for 6800. Should be stable with latest bios on your board.
@@ArtyomExplainsEng if I put g skill trident z 16x4 = 64 GB 7200mhz ram into 4 slot how much stable speed will I get with i7 13700k and aurus z790 alite ax mobo is it any good idea ?
@@ArtyomExplainsEng can I find it in ddr5 xmp booster ?
@massoudwazir6389 do not ever go 4 sticks of ddr5. Speeds would drop to 6000 stable, probably not more. XMP will not boot, probably. Go 2x32 if you want 64gb or 2x24.
Should i update the bios before installing win11?
On this motherboard*
You should install latest non-beta bios version when building a pc. After that you should update when something important is changing and you need that change. Or if something is broken with current version and a fix is needed.
Thanks!
I bought a motherboard Z790 Pro x .. After four days, I will buy a 14900K processor .. What is the appropriate RAM speed for me, knowing that I want to buy a 2x24 size? 😑
It is unclear yet how good is the memory controller in 14gen will be. If you do not plan to overclock manualy I would stay below 6600-6800 xmp.
hello there great video... can i run 7200 mhz Gskill ram with gigabyte b760 aorus elite AX in xmp ...cpu is 14600kf...
Xmp will not work or will be unstable. Manual overclock - maybe, but my safe bet would be on 6800-7000.
@@ArtyomExplainsEng thanks for the rply... So with xmp 6600 is possible??
Got my z790 xtreme x and i saw it had a hynix 8000 2x24 so had to try it, It only did 1 ram train to boot right into win 11. Can game for about 10 - 30 min and crashes ( need to mess with manual tweaks) but i dropped to 7600 and totally stable gaming. Bye bye asus z790 hero, only got same ram up to 7200.
Really great video with all the information I was looking for…your English is better than a lot of native speakers I know😂
hi i have the Z790 x elite and i am willing to install 4 slots x16 of corsair dominator 6200 ddr5 my system will be stable shall i try it
my cpu is 14900k
Thanks a lot in advance
6200 with 4x16 or 24 gb will have a good chance to be stable. With 32/48 GB definitely no.
@@ArtyomExplainsEng my mistake i have the Corsair Dominatror Platinum 4x16 6600 !!!!!
so i am thinking to buy 2x32 or not!!! My pc is working heavy rendering software !!!!
thanks a lot in advance
Note that all the super high performance kits are based on 48GB Ram kits and not 64Gb kits. It is all to do with 24Gb per stick controllers. They are far more efficient that 32Gb ram sticks. Thus go for 48GB kits as they are 50% more ram than 32 Gb kits But run faster than any other stick size. They bog down on a 32Gb stick.
7:15 fwiw my Z690 aorus xtreme & 13600K does 6800 stable and can boot 7200.
Hello, can you help me out? I have an i9 14900k paired with a z790 Arous gigabyte pro x motherboard and Corsair Vengeance ram 6400 mhz and a gigabyte aero 4090. Can I run my ram at 6400 mhz and be fine to play games without crashes. Also should I enable resizable bar. Is there any other settings that I should change in bios?
Hi. 6400 should work flawlessly. ReBAR should be enabled. Update bios to the latest stable version, not beta, then just enable xmp and ReBAR.
Is there any coil whine one the elite x wifi7?
Mine had none
@@ArtyomExplainsEng Thanks for the reply. Would you suggest it ad an all around me bo. I do not intend to overclock. I want stable operation with a 14600k and 32 gb ram @ 7200 xmp. I can't decide between this one the Asrock Nova.
@@noway9303 Both are great, I would have hard time deciding too :( Nova is more interesting, I think, but more expensive. I plan to review the new Riptite, the "cheaper nova".
@@noway9303 hi same ! what did you take finally ?
@@AquilaeYT the ASRock Nova!!! A dream board!!!!
Actually Gygabite produce so many models of motherboard, that I'm confused wich one i have already seen and which one I haven't yet. Nice to see placed space for 22110 th. And this solution within unbrakeble pci-e slot....i never seen befor, so that someone broke ever. ....Again market. And again if VGA card in slot, you can`t pull out ssd`s. Again i don`t see one more 4pin connector for side wall case cooler, again you need extender. 3:46 - Sata still in use but close to die for ever. (i hope) Again. Few? Only 6 4pin connectors, for all pc, - In modern pc you need: 3 for Liquid Cooler GPU, 3 for CPU, 1 for side wall case fan, and many other stuff what ever you installed in you machine, cooling for ssd`s, more case fans, or some hhhl card. "No we present more F*cking RGB" "It`s more usefull". Only two internal USB 3. Mean`s go every time to back side panel. - Gygabite think`s: "It`s usefull !!" 6:24 - Actually this issue is more comfortable moment for manufacturers, how to give you install only one of two, ...or more memory capacity, or more high frequency components (yes, conspiracy theory). Buying high friquency components you must use only 2 ddr slots, 2 slots there are more often on m-itx boards, which are limited by features, thus, pc works fast, but if you like run more program and don`t like close em, to switch to another one, you arises a throble by memory overflow, in another scenario you got more memory, but all tasks process is slack. ....Aaannd.....(conspiracy theory)...you go to buy hedt platform for +100500 bucks price. And every thing works fine but you need a psychologist ))) ....and second job. ...+ new credit card. ...
New hardware is boring, 10-11-12-13-14......99-100 th gen, is through-passage products, designed for waste your money and fundamentally is overrated. 10900x was interesting cpu as part of hedt platform, where you can get more pci lines, 4 ch ddr, and other stuff. Next is valued - 4677, for now to raw, but some where from next one within prudution roadmap.....emerald rapids, granite rapids, diamond rapids, ...we will get a decent unit.
P.s. 8 layers - it`s to few. Even taking into account the layer thickness. Especially, for DDR5 memory, whose frequency can reach near 8000MHz. For note, in Evga x299 which used ddr4, and where was supposed near 4400mhz, was used in production 12 layers.
can i run 7200mhz with this mobo? i have 14900k cpu and Dominator 64gb (32gbx2) 6600mhz cl32 with 4090 msi gaming x trio
or should i just buy something like 48gb (Dual) Ddr5 7600 Patriot Xtreme 5 RGB
The odds of 2x32 running in xmp are almost 100%, with 2x24 7600 xmp will very likely be unstable. Keep the 2x32, it is good ram, don't switch. The best you can go with 32g sticks with manual overclock is ~7000, but 32 gig sticks are a bit faster than 16/24 with the same speed due to dual rank. You are good, don't worry.
@@ArtyomExplainsEng man, that was like the fastest response i ever got from tech youtubers. Then i should try OCing my 6600mhz ram to 7000mhz. Thanks alot!
@@creamop8556 6600 cl32 is great, going for 6800 cl34 will probably have no performance gains. I would focus more on secondary timings to get the most out of your ram. NP
@@ArtyomExplainsEng by the way. i also have this ram 32gb (Dual) Ddr5 7200 Corsair Dominator Titanium Black, CL34. is this better for gaming?
Ok, the best i can do for you is to thumbs up your vids and subscribe your channel.

It helps, thanks!
Then why do manufacturers put 4 RAM slots on motherboards if you can only get these high frequencies with 2 sticks? Makes no sense.
Marketing. People would not understand why all of sudden they only get 2.
Some people value capacity over speed when it comes to memory.
Is this true for all motherboards ? Can't I have 128GB installed on all DDR5 sockets without losing speed 6000Mhz ?
@@DihelsonMendonca If you want speed and capacity - get 2x48 GB or 4x48. With 4x32 - 4600-5200 at best.
@@DihelsonMendoncaOnly "T-Topology" can provide faster speeds with 4*Dimms
Looks like it didnt work and resulting to hopium in the future was the solution^^. The xmp suggested profiles are also really bad compared to what we manual tuners use on the forums.

The fact of adding a screwless ssd panel when you you still need to screw the ssds inside doesn't make any sense 😂😂😂😂😂😂
No screws for the ssd, no tools needed.
@@ArtyomExplainsEng it still doesn't make any sense, think about this, when are you going to need to open that panel and plug an SSD inside?
1: when you mount the PC so you still need screws to mount the motherboard and the PC + securing the GPU
2: maybe you have already mounted your pc so you want to upgrade your storage memory so first you must remove your GPU so you need to unscrew the PCIe securing screws, unplug the CPU and then open the panel and plug the SSD. Then secure again the GPU.
In both scenarios you still need tools.
It's just a stupid and delusional marketing strategy to fool some idiots "wooow look at this, now screws, incredible guys" 😂
It do not matter what Motherboard z790 14 th gen you buy.
They all can take up to 7800-8000 mhz.
The hole problem is that pc stability is never put into marketing.
Dont look at MAX speed ever, look at what motherboard / CPU can do for stabel solution.
And yes the stabel solution is 6000-6200-6400-6600 for INTEL.
And 6800-7200 is what you can call heavy overclocking and will stress test your system no matter what.
So wry play around whit 7800-8000 mhz when it is well pushed out everywhere and testet.
Just go for cheaper ram and setup XMP 3.0 and stop doing manuel overclocking.
Every DDR5 ram can at least give you 2-400 mhz more whit push XMP on.
So even 6000 or 6400 is just fine for everyone.
