This platform will be for sure better for memory OC than z390. But on my z390 gaming edge with 9900kf I can and run patriots 4400c19 at 4300@1.52v and nice 16-16-16-36-328 timings, with 62/63/59gb/s and 34.5ns in Aida. Can run them similar settings 4400c16 but they need more VRAM, so errors due heat. On the other hand...I saw ppl with z490 and memory 5000mhz or 5200c20, so I am just amateur here... Nice review. Bit pricey...

Ah, a motherboard for fantasy components! 😀

Could you post an image with the video card "bracket" used?
