Swapping the EVGA Z490 Kingpin out with new Gigabyte Aorus Z690 Master. Teardown took roughly 35 minutes in total. I used the new 1700 EKWB bracket with the older Vector CPU water block.

When starting initially the memory wasn’t being recognized so needed to clear the BIOS for some reason. I describe the clear CMOS pins to short them for bios reset. If you do make sure the power is completely off to the motherboard. I later found out after looking at the manual there is actually a clear CMOS button on the I/O panel. Use this instead of shorting the clear CMOS pins.

Looks like I need to update the BIOS from F5 to F7c. Looks like F7a adds compatibility for G.Skill DDR5 with speeds from 4800 to 600 MHz and above.

Confirmed that the G.Skill memory I have uses Samsung memory chips.

DEL key enters the BIOS, and F12 key enters the boot menu.

I was able to overclock the memory using the settings provided by Gigabyte. The memory is rated for 6000 MHz at CL36 an was able to get up to 6400 MHz at CL36. The voltage had to be increased from 1.30 to 1.35. I see online at the Gigabyte site they have other Samsung memory chips going up to 6600 MHz but had to use 1.55 volts to do it. May have to mess with memory overclocking to see what I can do.
