Seems I'm having a hell of time getting 6400 RAM up here...
 
My top two choices are:
 - F5-6000J3636F16GX2-TZ5K (G. Skill CL 36)
 - KF560C40BBK2-32 (Kingston Fury CL 40)
 
The Kingston Fury can be set to 6400 at default XMP settings (apparently stable), not sure about the G Skill set (which is more expensive)... The G Skill is also the 36-36-36-76 type and I've seen post of trouble when trying to get 6400...
 
So I guess my question is... 6000@CL36 or 6400@CL40 Any thoughts... 

I can recommend the new G.SKILL Ripjaws S5 modules,.. Kit F4-6000J3040F16GX2-RS5K : https://www.gskill.com/qvl/165/377/1649234797/F5-6000J3040F16GX2-RS5KF5-6000J3040F16GA2-RS5K-QVL
 
Both the Classy & Dark boards are on the G.SKILL QVL.
 
I'm running XMP-1 in Asus ITX build, they are SK Hynix IC,.. OC vary well.

Braegnok....havent touched basis in awhile man....I was always scratching my head with that Dominator 6200 C36 (Hynix) that you got running so nicely, whereby I could never get it stable enough to get me thru Memtest.....
 
Just curious if you could pass on which Model number (on the box) that Apex Board is?
 
I was reading thru some stuff online about the first or second batch (model #'s) cant remember off the top of my head which it was, not being able to run XMP well.
 
Seems there are 3 different Model #'s, number 3 being most recent.
 
Got me curious...

My Apex board is early release batch_1 MOAAYO.
 

 
Most Asus Z690 Apex boards can not run XMP stable with kits listed in QVL with out adjustments.
 
It's a lot of work, vary frustrating overclocking memory on my Apex board, nothing is plug & play above 4800MHz. 
 
Asus might have fixed memory XMP issues with batch_3 ,.. MOUAY1 January 2022 boards.  https://www.igorslab.de/1...-ram-adaptive-core-oc/
 
Personally I should have waited for NDA lift, motherboard reviews release,.. instead of buying Apex Z690 DDR5 board early during pre-order. 

shows back ordered for me. i'm going to stick w my best kit for now until we see some 8000+ stuff later this year when zen4/raptor lake arrives

Thanks Braegnok......yes I have the same early Model as yourself "MOAAY0"
The Dominator 5600 C36 (Samsung) was definitely plug n play ....the 6200 C36 (Hynix) no go for me.....but I have settled on 6000 C32 so all good.

Basically every memory kit I tested in my Apex above 4800MHz needed adjustments to run stable, was a challenge is an understatement. 
 
I ordered the EVGA Z690 DARK KP few days ago, should have it on the 15th.
 
Strongly feel the need to future proof my platform, as higher frequency memory is released and for running Raptor Lake.

Yes was considering the same.(ordering a Dark KP....although the newer release Model Apex is supposed to be better ? Sorry man, havent been surfing ROG or OC.net for awhile now..
