Asus Z390 Maximus XI Motherboards

Finally. Now updated.

Someone mentioned to check your Vcore after setting XMP, his was 1.4V
Another now has problems with his Creative card:

1302 brought back audio dropouts on my new Sound blaster AE-9.

Although I've seen a couple of post in the ROG forums, this version has better memory OCing and stability.

The latest 1302 Bios is good, Ram Overclocking 4266 CL17 with Command Rate 1T is now easy possible

OK, I'm again on 1302 and till now I'm good. I had to increase VRAM to 1.36V (on 0602 1.35V was enough), but now I am able to decrease both SA/IO voltages to 1.10V (RAM @ 3866MHz 17-17-17-36-2T).

Fingers crossed.

So check your voltages and any PCIe add-in cards you might have Shawn.

RAM is set to 1.35V max and currently running at 1.343V.

Everything else looks good so far. No issues.

ASUS redacted the "Intel Core 9900KS CPU support" wording.

The latest MSI 300 series BIOS updates contain the latest Intel Microcode (0xBE).

Just found out this morning that the ASUS ROG Maximus XI Apex LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z390 is now shipping FROM the USA !!!!!

Newegg is selling them for 379.99 right now. This is the 1st time I've seen the Apex XI forsale in the USA. Amazon is also listing this board, but for more money. I'll post the link to Newegg below.

Well I got a new motherboard coming, not sure when I'll install this sucker. Maybe sometime next week. I'm in no hurry.
This board's VRM's are better than on my Apex X ....but not by much.

Great choice Mike.
