if you get the asus apex encore you are almost 100% guranteed to get 8000xmp tweaked working, i’ve tried 5 different 14900K cpus on my apex encore motherboard and all were stable in 8000mhz xmp.

that being said, if you get any other motherboard i heard its very likely you wont go over 7200 on the ram, the apex encore is special as it only features 2 ram slots and if you are going to buy it make sure you buy 2x single rank memory modules to reach 8000, preferably look at the QVL.

if they cant make this “feature” automated but must have actual techs sit and optimize each game manually it will die trust me, its kinda crazy how bad the “thread scheduler” must be tbh, they should focus on getting that thing to work instead of doing this
