Compatibility and service notes
Use the XTREME X product's own rev. 1.0 firmware; do not assume that similarly named Z790 XTREME firmware is interchangeable. Verify CPU BIOS support, DDR5 memory QVL, M.2/SATA sharing and E-ATX case clearance in the manufacturer files.
Record printed revision and installed BIOS before service. Disconnect power, use ESD-safe handling and follow the board manual for firmware recovery.
