Yea not really any 4 dimmers showing 8000 stable especially in the last z790 series. Maybe a couple have but not convincing enough.
I suppose i could buy and try it out. Price isnt bad for what it says its equipped with and what it allegedly can do. No big deal waiting for a bit also till more reviews of them.

Yea it is. I have some 7800 adie coming and if the board can do 7800 and/or 8000 with adjusted sub timings that would be great. Much more reasonable price then apex if board can do that. I currently have 13900ks so cpu should not be an issue.
What kit? Check to see if it's on the memory qvl. If it's on there, you're golden. If not, there's a chance they won't work.
Every motherboard has max RAM frequency in the specs for 1DPC so 2 slots. Most manufacturers in the current generation declare not much different max RAM speed in specs than it works in real. The only exception seems ASUS in their higher series mobos. For example, they declare 8k for APEX series and motherboards have 8800 OC profile in BIOS. I guess they protect themselves in case of below average IMCs. Even if you get the best overclocking motherboard, then many CPUs have problems with more than 8000 fully stable. My 13700K was barely stable at 8400 and could barely post above it. 14700K that I have now wasn't fully tested but it posts at 8800. Nothing really special, but at least better than the last one.
I'm curious if the Nova overclocks any better as all other ASRock Z790 motherboards could barely pass 7200. ASRock used to be great in RAM OC, but the last two generations are pretty average with worse than usual BIOS support.

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and I am considering buying the Asrock Z790 Nova after seeing some lovely reviews for it. I was wondering where could i find some settings to have stable RAM running at 7600MTs. I am going to buy the Corsair first edition modules (2x48gb @ 7200) and wanted to try to have them running at 7600. Tips on voltages and settings would be appreciated. I am a long-time Asus user, but want to try this one as it should be on par with the Apex more or less in terms of performance, but with a better price
I guess you want a 2x24GB kit as they don't have 2x48GB (or it's something new that I missed, but it's not listed).
There are no special settings. You simply enable XMP and set the memory clock manually at 7600. Overclocked settings would be 34-46-46 1.40V for 7600, and this RAM is available at 7200 34-46-46 or 36-46-46 1.40V.
This ASRock is not better than APEX, but above 8000, much more depends on the CPU than the motherboard. You can get a mid-shelf Gigabyte that will make ~8200, but good luck finding a CPU that will work without issues.

For the money and what the MB cand do sounds like a great deal. Storage, ram & Wi-Fi and all the goodness. Good choice. 
Thanks Flamethrower1972, I do believe indeed it's a great mobo and after the s*itstorm that is facing Asus I have decided to steer clear of them boards for a little while.
I know that the next gen is around the corner but I feel like a great system with the 14th gen will last for a while. About the DDR, yes I meant 2x24gb of course, it was a typo
I read on Reddit that someone uses these settings: VDD_CPU 1.36V, VDD_IMC 1.42V, VDD 1.42V, VDDQ 1.41V. But I will first try with a standard XMP profile and just adjust the speed as Woomack suggested.

From all the specs I have read I think instead of the ASUS MB I bought I would have gotten this one.Thanks Flamethrower1972, I do believe indeed it's a great mobo and after the s*itstorm that is facing Asus I have decided to steer clear of them boards for a little while.
