also ive been reading about DDR5 and Z690s..... with gears 1-4!  ****!!!!!!  

Whaaaaaaaaat? Omg... next thing it'll be like mountain/racing bikes and we'll be talking Shimano 12 speed gears. Ugh. This is why people drive automatics.
 

I was actually just thinking about this when reading about gears 1-4. I can't imagine that being helpful in a manual sense, unless it is just the way you get your wide range of memory speeds to work, but with gear 1 currently doing very well, you'd almost think it would be ideal to have the board automatically switch between gears and speeds depending on the application and whether it benefits from low latency or bandwidth more. Or maybe come up with some kind of "auto-tune" process that does testing at various speeds gears and then gives you 2-4 options to select from. Basically XMP on steroids.

There are 20+ different sub timings. You need to post a screen shot if you want help on which need to be changed.

For the latest version of ASROCK Timing Configurator ver:4.0.9 go to the ASRock Z590 OC Formula page > Support > Download tab
 
It's halfway down the page.
 
Too large of a file too add here. 

My attempt at a RAM fan for the 5866Mhz CL21 CPU 5.1Ghz profile, even though as Nereus points out - it probably isn't necessary. Drops the two Gskill Royal Silver Elite modules down from 38C/40C and maintains them at 34C all day long.
 
Mem Kit: F4-5333C22D-16GTES
Fan: Noctua NF-S12B redux-700

At 5333Mhz and 5600Mhz the memory modules remains at 34C without a dedicated fan and mounted on an open air test bench.

for me, all the kits that i've bought for my built and my friends's one have worked perfectly without any compatibility probleme, just make shure that the ram is using the full capacity in the bios

There...that's 100 spam posts. Can you stop now?

Glorious Gskill Shiny RAMs both in love at 5866Mhz.

That's a riser card with heatsinks to mount (2) M.2 SSDs, but it's only PCIe 3.0. Only one out of four M.2 mounts are PCIe 4.0 on the board.

Just got my z590 Dark and i9-11900K

Looking into ram and what has worked for others,
G. Skill
ddr4-4600 2x32 or ddr4-5333 2x8

I do mostly gaming but also run multiple applications at once with graphic design work.
