Hey Bob. I see your still using GSkill 3600MHz CAS15. I have the same, 2x8 sticks. Do you think I can do the same and just pick up another pair or if you had to do it again, what other set of memory pecked your interest. 

Thanks

Dan

I lucked out and was able to run all four sticks at 3600 CAS15.  My previous 8086K wouldn't do it with the same four sticks...it had to be slowed down or the CAS raised to get all four of them stable on that CPU with the Z390 chipset.  The 10900K and the Maximus XII Z490 combo had no issue running with all four at XMP.

I think I'd probably have gone looking for something like a 4000 MHz CAS 17 2x16GB kit if I didn't already have these four very solid GSkill DIMMs already.

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. 

Yup bring in the duel 3090’s!

Got 3k waiting to burn!!!

This excites me, I’m in the middle of having various parts delivered to build my i9 10900k system, upgrading from an older processor than you, an i7 7700k. 

Thanks for the info, looking forward to hearing more.  

i'm still using the 7700k you will have to  let me know how much better the 10900k is for flight sim

Hey Bob

I have the same board and CPU inbound. I’m not going to build it up yet until I decided on the 3080 or 3090 for video. I tried the extra 2 sticks of 3600 and ran into the same issues as you. So from your findings I should have and issue on the Z490? I’m still looking for a 4000 MHz 32GB kit. Did you happen to have one you were eyeing as a backup.

Thanks

 

Well, all I can say for sure is that I had no issue with all four DIMMs running at XMP in the Maximus XII, where all four on the 8086K on the Maximus XI didn't work at XMP (but two at a time had no issues).  They did run OK derated to 3600 CAS 16 on the Z390 board, though.  Mix-and-match of different kits, even of the same type is always something of a crapshoot. 

No specific 4000 MHz kit...never got to shopping stage.

 

Hey Bob

Decided to go with Patriot Viper Steel 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 4400. I ordered two kits for 32gb total. Really  good reviews on this stuff. Some users have it stable at 5000. I went 4400 incase I have stability issues I can clock it down to 4000 and still maintain performance. 

Bueno...let us know how it works out.

Did you e-bay (or otherwise sell) your 8086K, or keep it re-purpose it?

Hey Bob

The new box is built. I'm just waiting for a possible 3080 20gb to complete the build before I move over from my 8086K.  I have the CPU running at 5.2 and the 4400Mhz memory is running @ 4000 CL17. Thanks again for the advice.

It's earmarked to replace my 4790K gaming rig.

I don't remember what GPU you're running now, but I'd surmise that non-reference AIB graphics cards like a 20GB 3080 won't be around for months still, and AFAIK their eventual production is still a matter of speculation.  It'd be *really* hard for me to leave that rig sitting idle for that long waiting...transplanting your GPU from the other rig isn't a lot of work.  First world problems!  😉

I have no problems waiting as the old rig is still running fine. The GPU I currently run is a EVGA 1080ti FTW3. Sure I could transplant but I don’t mind waiting. I think we are closer to a 3080 20gb sooner than you think. If push comes to shove I will get a 3080 10gb to hold me over and then move it to the gaming rig later when a 20gb version releases.
