Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX voltage regulation and LLC testing:
 
#3 ·
Hi I’m Zoyi, I was looking through your YouTube channel to see if you the answer to my questions. One week ago I created my battlestation. I’m not a tech I’m a gamer and graphic designer. So I don’t have over clocking knowledge. My problem was that when I placed the ram sticks on A1 and B1 won’t boot, monitor won’t turn on. So I made test to the Corsair Vengeance DDR5 5600 ram one by one on the ports, the ram and ports where ok. I was thinking maybe I needed more power but I didn’t know how, I updated Bios from FB to FDc and nothing changed I put XMP and nothing. The boot will force the ram to bottleneck to 4800 the motherboard factory non OC specifications but the specs website say it supports this rams stick if is OC. I spoke directly with the manufacturers, Corsair, Intel, Gigabyte and all of them told me to exchange the motherboard, do you think the motherboard was faulty? My PSU is Corsair 850. The communications device was giving bsod. I have a error log created there were a lot of critical. IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL, Unexpected Kernel mode trap, page fault in non paged area. My windows is 10 pro 64bit had all the updates. I don’t know anyone or have any friends to ask I asked on instragram and nobody wants to help. I would like to buy a MSI or ASUS, z790 but can’t decide. Which you think is best for my cpu 12600K? ☺

I have a z790 aorus elite ax v1.0 board and I updated to the new F9 bios yesterday
it seems like the bios isn't changing the memory setting from xmp (32-39-39-102)
to my selected setting of (30-39-39-28)
I change them in the bios and it saves fine but when I get to windows 11
hwinfo 7.63 says it's still the stock xmp specs(32-39-39-102) and aida64 says the same thing
if I go back to the bios it says (30-39-39-28)
gskill ddr5 6400 32GB (16GB x2)

edit:
figured it out
had to deadhead it (press the clear cmos button)
I guess it didn't work by just reset defaults in bios
now it to detects correctly

Have been doing that with every bios update since 1989.

Every time any Bios is updated, you need to clear the CMOS of all previous settings that are still retained.

It happens with either AMD or Intel, a universal requirement if you want trouble-free operation.

Anyone tried per core ratios successfully? I set 1-2 and 3-4 to 60/59x and 5-6 to 57x but i cant get any single thread/core benchmarks to run above 5.7ghz. Disabled tvb and avx and multi core enhancements. No power limits. More than enough voltage. Tried fixed and adaptative with offset. Im missing something which i cant figure out.

Hey everyone, I just got this board! I have the 1.x version updated to the most recent December bio. I paired it with a 14900kf. I ordered out 2 ram kits for the board to see which one would give me the best perf/stability. Teamgroup delta 6600 and teamgroup delta 7600 32gb. With the 6600 kit I run XMP and looks to be good no errors after 10-20mins of memtest. I enabled the high bandwidth and low latency settings features in the bios and need to up the SA and VDDQ voltage a little to get it no errors. Seems to give an extra 6-8% boost to the bandwidth and latency.
When I plug in the 7600 kit, it boots but errors galore. I'm not sure how much voltage to throw at it to make it stable without running a fan over them( for aesthetics ). But then again the 6600 kit seems to be pretty fine, I might try locking in the timings and upping the speed to 7000 and call it a day

You're not going to run 7600 on this board mate, unless you have a god bin cpu memory controller.
I'm stuck at 7000 on my 13700k because 7200 isn't cold boot stable in ycruncher vt3. Training variance (on latest F10 - 25/12/23 bios)

Try running one in single thread, and then set the affinity to one of the cores that is rated for 6.0 as shown in the bios.

hi, has anyone got impedance levels for llc for this board? friend of mine asked me to help with undervolt and I'm looking for some shortcuts. I watched BZ video on this board and from what he said low/medium are most suitable for stock setup. Does AX automatically match IA DC loadline to the llc level selected like asus does?

Ran into this post on Reddit a while back, don't know if it's totally correct

This motherboard has ON Semiconductor VRM so for Normal/Standard/Low LLC the impedance is 0.9 mOhm and for High is 0.45 mOhm.

DC Loadline needs to be set manually.

are you sure about this dc value on 0.9 on low levels? on asus i had and z790i lightning dc changes every llc level
