are you still using micron memory? i have a corsair vengeance 4800 cl40 kit and i overclocked it to 5200 cl 34 38 38 72. what frequency and what timing did you reach with your micron memories? can i improve mine?

 

What is the System Agent Voltage and the Memory Controller Voltage that Gigabyte consider safe?

 

To enable Stable XMP + gear 1 with my 4x 8GB Corsair Dominator Platinum CMD16GX4M2B3733C17 + Z690 Gaming X DDR4 + 12700KF its necessary 1.425v of VCCSA and modify comand rate to 2. I guess that i alread passed the safe limit for VCCSA. Bios F6

 

I did originally order myself:

Intel Core i9-12900K
Asus Maximus Z690 Formula
G.Skill F5-5600U3636C16GX2-TZ5RS (TridentZ Z5 RGB DDR5-5600 C36)

But all of a sudden my preferred retailer started listing the Gigabyte Z690 Aorus XTREME Waterforce at 1100 USD. Local pricing for the Formula was 900 USD. As I'm going to have a full EKWB custom loop that monoblock for only 200 USD more got the best of me. I also like the fact that the board comes with 1x Marvell/Aquantia 10Gbps + 1x Intel 2.5Gbps NIC as the Formula only featured 1x Marvell/Aquantia 10Gbps and my experience with Marvell/Aquantia drivers is less than ideal.

I've been using Asus motherboards for the past 20 years. It will be my first Gigabyte board ever. From what I understand the direct VRM config is preferred over parallel as well? The board shouldn't be inferior to the Formula in any aspect?

 

i've a Z690 Master with a 12900K and vengeance 5600 c36.. Very satisfied, Daily use 2 ore 5,5 4 Core 5,4 and all core 5,3.. Vcore 1,30 LLC High Ring 45 E-Core 41 and ram 6000 32-36-36

16g*2 dual rank 4000mhz g1 stable?? that's nice.
some said for gigabyte d4 z690 3800mhz is the max for g1.

any luck trying 4200 g1?

 

Everything over 4000mhz stays dark

This is a nice feature on Gigabyte.

NEW CPU predication tool in bios.Biscuits rating.Coming soon.Some items altered,changed or removed.

 

This CPU prediction tool, is it likely to come to all Aorus boards or just the high end like Tachyon?

1st attempt at a daily over clock.Have a few items to clean up.Once happy will post details.

 

New bios for Master released (F7C)

 

Hi guys,

Im in a spot of bother here.

Mt Z690 Aorus pro ddr5 has bugged out on me and is complaining that the signatures do not match for any boot media i stick in. It is like its trying to force secure boot on me even though i set other OS, and enable CSM. (im a linux user)

Whenever i get that error i go back in the bios and secure boot is switched back on with CSM disabled.

I have tried disabling the trust platform and everything. It always switches back on.

Tried resets, cmos clears, Reflash the BIOS. Nothing can get me in.

Ive had a nightmare with this board already as my modified 980ti bios doesnt like secure boot but this is even with the iGPU and so is removed as a factor (for now, once CSM is off and stays off the 980 works).

Somehow ive got to stop everything triggering as secure boot fails. Any ideas.

Im a bit lost, had this all setup for work tomorrow but its gone on me last thing in the day.

Any ideas?

My issue with boot drive errors on my Z690 Aorus Elite AX DDR4 were all related to BIOS. Have you flashed BIOS to most recent? My board shipped with F2 and I could not overcome memory errors on that BIOS, even with pushing up VCCSA and DIMM voltage as suggested, so I had to use flashback. Once I did, I was off to the races.

 

Really thinking of the Aorus waterforce extreme mobo and leaving Ryzen and Asus in the past, PCI 5 bandwidth is so future proof for me

 

Hello everyone, yesterday I bought a Z690 UD motherboard with a i5-12400F CPU and a dual channel kit of 16GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16.

I was looking on Google to see whether I would be able to overclock this but I wasn't able to find much - can it be done and could someone guide me in the right direction? Thanks!

 

I'm sure that memory won't overclock much being 3200 CL16. If it CL14, that would overclock well.

Sergmann posted new bios for tachyon on HWBOT.X2i.Allows OC of non K cpu.
Quick testing of new bios.Trains memory(Hynix)quickly.Several new items in bios.No description what they do.

Link in second post.

 

is there some beta bios for the master too? i use f7c (tried the other versions too) and the board doesnt post when i try to do manual ddr5 oc, it just stops posting when changing voltages like vdd and vddq. only can use the 6000cl40 hynix profile, also tried the spd tool and doesnt post either. the diagnose leds for cpu and ram are fast switching and nothing works -.-

here an example. i take the 5600cl36 profile which works on its own, change the voltages to 1.45 in the spd tool and then it doesnt post anymore

 

My master is also finicky when it comes to manually tweaking the memory. I have to load a profile, then save the profile, then tweak. I'm running 6133, I can run tighter timings and voltages. 6200 will only run from a profile, as soon as I touch anything it won't post. Find this really annoying, but growing pains a suppose. I'm hoping with future updates the board will mature, first gen ryzen and X99.

 

Let's get to work

 

Hi guys,

im having trouble changing Trfc memory timing when setting up my overclock. Whatever i set inside the OS it reports the stock figure and performance remains the same. Anyone else have this problem? Running Gskill samsung memory.

 

Finally finished the installation, only issue left is 2 fans that are running full speed and the mobo won't detect them, also one of the top fans is dead?! not sure

This is Port Royale

impressive latency!

 

yea but for 6400+ you would need more voltage and/or a 2dimm board

 

Don't really think it is a vdimm voltage limitation yet. Like mentioned before, will pass stability at 6200 and 6266, but I can just drop TRFC 1 value or raise TREFI 1 value and it will crash. Honestly it can be user error, board, or CPU. But I can tweak 6133 just fine. I will eventually buy another board, but for the time being the Master is fine especially for the 300 bucks I got it for.

Testing the latest mobo bios F5 that claims the mobo will have better compatibility with DDR5 4800~6000+ mhz but it didn't at all and my PC restarts randomly crashes games after some gameplay time and almost finishes Timespy extreme stress test, so now i use the 6000mhz CL40 Hynix profile and it's stable so far (my ram sticks are Hynix)

 

I have the 12700KF in a Z690 Aorus Pro DDR4 in a watercooled setup. One thing that baffles me is why dont they give a reset BIOS switch. Since I'm new to overclocking I thought rather than sticking out a screwdriver on the CLR_CMOS header everytime I screw up in BIOS settings, I could make a small switch myself and have it hanging at the back of the case. I thought I could use these two female connectors and connect them to a small push switch. Can this be done in any other way?

I have the same setup as yours and use these cables.

 

Hmm, no UD DDR4 or Gaming X DDR4 in this thread. Is that because the MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 is just the better choice as a board at this price? Currently, the Gigabyte Z690 UD is cheaper than the MSI board and also comes with a 30€ Steam Gift Card over here. I plan on overclocking for single core performance. I've never seen anyone recommend the cheap Gigabyte boards. I can't even find any comments about people using it to OC their K CPU. Supposedly the bios for the MSI board is a lot better, too, but then again many months have passed and things could have changed. Would MSI still be the better pick or does it not really matter, as both seem equally well equipped? RAM would just be 3600MHz, incase those issues still persist.

 

I got the MSI pro-a initially but as my old board was gigabyte thought I may go for the gaming x ddr4.

Compared to the MSI pro-a the gaming x is clunky and didn't work nearly as well. Couldn't get any overclock from the ram and the overclock on the processor I could get to 5.1 on the MSI but it's difficult even at 5 on the gaming x with the increased usb ports

I'm really considering switching back to the msi it's cheaper, easier and the BIOS interface friendlier. But theres an element of me wanting to get this gaming x working, it may just be one setting.

Anyone else with a 12700k who can advise on the overclock settings that would work best, is it worth splitting the cores to maximise speeds or just stick to a single overclock across the board.

I've got crucial ballistix ddr4 3600mhz 16-18-18-38 which run at their xmp profile but won't overclock at all. Also got a 240mm aio cooler which with 1.3vcore keeps the temps below 85° when stressed.

I can get it running at 5ghz p cores 4ghz e cores and 3.9 ring ratio is that about as good as I'm going to get. I could get 5.1ghz on the MSI I know it's not much more but it's a cheaper board that works better, also got 4000mhz on the ram which again the gaming x just won't run.

It also is a pain if you do run into overclocking issues having to pull the battery out to get it to boot. I've also since found out that the m.2 4th slot will only run SATA mode if you run a nvme drive it disables 2 of the SATA ports, the msi board allows full use of the SATA/m.2 slots...

 

So to stabilize the 6400mhz ram speeds i had to push the VDD/VDDQ values from Auto/ v1.100 to v1.400, with that the system is a lot more stable during games
