Well the Apex Encore is sold out everywhere not paying scalper prices and not buying an open box. Missing out on like 1-2 fps and .3-.5ms frame time stock thanks to the ram on how I have to run it. Oh well it is what it is.

Well I already know I have a golden off the production line board bought it from chispy at GURU3D/OCN/HWBot, he does 8800mhz on pretty effortlessly for 24/7 use. My limiting factor will be my CPU's IMC, since my cpu has only been on a 4 dimm board the Rog Strix Z790-E that in itself already does not give me idea where the chips imc stands. It ran 7200mhz cl34 under the right bios's all the newer ones with a with a 8 in them kind of killed 7200mhz cl34 xmp support. So I will be able to get 7800mhz in xmp right off the bat, my current kit 7200mhz cl34 will work flawlessly but tuning it to cl28 if the imc is not up for it may not be possible. I will not know until the board gets here unfortunately.

Re: Do not even know what to name this... 2024/05/11 10:51:58 (permalink)
Now I am in the debate of do I get a 8000mhz cl38 kit 2x25 XTREEM from team group, I could get the 8200mhz kit but that would be on my imc if it just worked and I doubt it. Being on a 4 dimm board and it not being anything special I do not exactly know where I stand on the IMC. Sadly I cannot find a 7800mhz kit of TeamGroups EXTREEM ARGB anywhere in the states still. I know no matter how your IMC is that 7800mhz kit should just work on the Apex Encore. I will be benching some but mostly will be gaming and will be attempting to run the ram at 7200mhz cl28. Not impressed with corsair and I hate their icue, G.Skill is nice but I do not like how their pmic does not have a thermal pad and the fact that teamgroup xtreem's run better all-around saw it with the kit I had while I was trying to see what was up with my rog strix z790-e.

Tiny bit of cleanup to do on the cable management. But yeah its done... The 8000mhz cl38 T-Force XTREEM ARGB is pretty nice too like their premium T-Crate kits just with bigger heatsinks. I will say yeah my G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 7200mhz cl34 probably should be swapped out, it stopped running at its rated speed stable not just on my Rog Strix E but also would not stay stable without a ton of voltage on the Apex, this T-Force kit just well works.

Nice looking rig.   I like the dark blue & purple color scheme with the hint of white. Looks sharp.
