Looking for a relatively quick setup to get this RAM functioning with the new gigabyte z790 board in my new build. It’s a pair of 8000mhz 24GB sticks at CAS Lat 40:

Using the XMP profile with the newest GB bios worked ok at 8000mhz, but it is unstable. I obviously don’t need it to run at 8000, and would rather just have it stable without learning mem overclocking and spending hours tweaking it for max performance. Is there a relatively straight-forward method to getting this to work on a new z790 board and 13900k? I really don’t care if it runs at 7000 or anything close - gaming at 4k this is not really going to make a big difference.

If you don’t want to experiment with timings, the shortest way is to just drop the speed by 200MHz increments until Y-cruncher VST or HNT no longer errors out within 10 minutes. Even minor instability should blow up VST or HNT in a couple of 2-min cycles and a 200MHz drop is enough to fix it.
