(Gigabyte Z390 AORUS Owners Thread)

Gigabyte aorus mobos do not enforce the standard Intel power limits when set on auto.

If you want it to throttle at 127w you will need to set those limits manually.

I must have miss understood what you were asking.

Vrout is the most accurate representation of vcore.

VR VOUT in the IR 35201 section.

Thank you guys

Average temps with Prime were low to mid 80C and max was 91C, with LinX was 2-3 degrees more. I've custom loop with two 360 rads and 12 fans with low rpm. On this setup I've reduced temp under stress test 10-15C which is great.

At the moment I'm testing AC=70, both Prime95 and LinX were failing with AVX. I'll do testing with Realbench v2.56, Battlefield V and AC Odyssey later on to see is it stable. As with AC=70 I've reduced voltage for 20mV and temp for additional 5 degrees.

I was under impression that I've lost silicon lottery with my CPU as it was asking for a lot voltage under manual settings, but with this setup it is completely different story. Thank you for the tip regarding using auto voltage and adjusting AC.

If you set AC/DC load line to 0 that will allow + offset so your not using negative DVID. Using AC/DC load line 0 with + DVID will keep the idle voltage from lowering below stock default, to prevent low CPU load crashes.

@Falkentyne
Sorry for asking as you might have said it already but i guess i missed it... i remember reading you saying you would NEVER use adaptive voltage but what was the reason for that?
thanks

9700k, z390 master. I manually set DDR voltage to 1.35. How come HWINFO always shows it at 1.368 and often jumps to 1.38?

Bios bugs.
I tried using DVID voltage. Didn't like the settings (was not stable with kedarwolf's settings).

Got bored and switched to a fixed saved profile (1.375v + Vcore LLC High @ 5.1) and loaded it.
Saved and entered Bios.

Saw 1.54v.
Instantly rebooted fast.
Saw 1.36v when I entered BIOS again.

Never again am I using DVID.

When setting DVID, also set AC/DC load-line to 0 and you won't have over voltage problem.

It wasn't overvoltage in DVID mode. DVID mode was working fine. It's a BIOS bug.
It was switching from DVID mode to fixed mode but kept the DVID offset applied in fixed mode, WITH fixed mode's loadline calibration, until i rebooted twice
That's= lots of voltage D:

There were other bugs before.
Example:
Switching from X cache frequency to auto cache frequency used to use the last "fixed" cache frequency. No idea if that bug was fixed, I think it was.
