I'm curious regarding the memory overclocks between Z690 and Z790. I'm seeing higher memory ratings for Z790 (7800+) but will Z690 motherboards be able to reach similar speeds if using a 13th gen processor?

I'm seeing 7400+ memory kits coming out and wondering if those kits will work on my MSI Z690 Unify X (2 dimm board) or would I need to upgrade? I'm already running 6600 CL30 now but I recall some people are already getting 6800-7000 on some Z690 boards.

Thanks
 
Or should I say it this way. Will I get 7400+ memory speeds with Z690 + 13900k similar to what Z790 advertises?
 
Who know til we get boards in hand. I don't see any reason higher end boards wouldn't be able to do it. The thing is that the 690 boards won't officially support speeds beyond what they advertise.
 
The real question is will Raptor Lake allow for faster bus speeds on DDR 4?

If the answer to that is yes then I have little doubt Samsung Bdie at 4400 is going to give 7400+ DDR5 kits a hell of a challenge. Can you imagine if we can get 40ns memory latency out of the 13900kf? 1% lows in BR games and Rust will blow everything else out of the water. I got b-die ready for the challenge. Great thread on AIDA latency testing results here: AIDA cache and memory benchmark results
 
Previously on an MSI Z690 Wifi DDR5 board, 12900k and 4 dimms total 128gb DDR5 you were limited to 4000mhz. With latest update and a 13900k, I was finally able to run my set’s full speed with XMP to 5200mhz.

What’s the point of Z790 motherboards?

what kind of chip you got there on that corsair domi?
if it's hynix m-die, why don't you try clocking it to 6800 / 7000?
try to set the primary timing 34-42-42 with SA unlocked to 1.12 ~ 1.15v, and tx vdd / vdd to 1.45v
