I think my board was bad. I bought an open box Apex Encore at microcenter and have some 8000 2x24 patriot kit coming in the mail. This new board ran the current 7200 2x16 memory fine. I could only clock the memory to 7400 with 7200xmp set. We'll see what happens with the new kit.
Board says MC score is 80 but that doesn't mean anything. I'll run aida64 here after a while and see what it says.
I only wish I could get an Apex Encore... they just never showed up here in Brazil. Actually, none of the refresh Z790s made it yet. I don't think any importer even bothered.
I'm looking at a Z690 Aorus Tachyon that showed up here recently... the deal it being Z690 as well, i'm unsure at how much better it'd be against my MSI Ace. If my brother goes ahead with his idea of building a 14700K system, I think i'll give him my motherboard as he doesn't overclock and intends to get a lot of RAM and buy it for myself... if it hasn't sold by then. Think the shop has just one.
