Just add a few more and get this . . .

Isn't that a full size ATX?

 

For about 130$ you can get entry level X470 board w/ big and cold 4 phase VRM. I did that !

Good value board !

 

Probably the same stuff the MSI X470 GPlus...4 phase. I'm guessing it's ok. Just barebones mobo and one of the cheaper ones. Looks ok for that price.

 

Well, testing and testing it, I discovered somthing with the Mortar (I guess it should work on tomahawk too, because they are, basically, the same motherbaoard)

If you set voltaje to auto, the board will set the voltage hig... ok... but if you:

- Enter into the bios settings
- First set the manual voltage to the desired one (for example 1.38V)
- Save bios settings and restart
- Enter the Bios, set the voltage to auto
- Save the bios settings and restart again

You will get the voltage in auto mode but the maximun voltage will the the selected one in manual mode.

For example, if you set it to 1.38V, and do what I said, the Voltage will go from "0.something"V, to 1.38V as maximum.

You can combine it do the same to the Cool and Quiet funtion when overclocking.

- Enter the bios and overclock
- Save sattings and exit
- enter the bios and set the Cool and Quiet funtion ON
- Save Settings and restart.

If you do the 2 things together you should:

- Enter ino the bios settings and overclock by multiplier
- Set the overclock byt the multiplier (or the way you want to)
- The motherboard will diable the C'n'Q funtion automatically
- Save and exit (restarting)
- Enter into the bios
- Set the manual voltage to the desired one (for example 1.38V)
- Save bios settings and restart
- Enter the Bios, set the voltage to auto
- Save the bios settings and restart again
- Enter into the Bios
- Set the Cool and Quiet funtion ON
- Save and exit the bios

Now,you CPU will be:

- Overclocked as desire
- Voltage will go from "0.something" Volts to "the-desired" volts
- The CPU Frecuency will change in a range among the minimum (I dont Remember "1.3something"Ghz, to your overclocked setting (4.05Ghz in my Ryzen 2600)

Monitoring both things with CPU-Z, HWinfo or a software like those.

Use a stress test like OCCT, Prime95, or whatever, and you will see how the CPU will go to, for example 4.05Ghz and 1.38V

Stop the test and it will go to a voltage among 0.something to 1.38V (only when needed), and the CPU frecuencie will change the same way.

If you open some software it will rise up the frecuencia as mush as needed, and the same for the VCore.

I'm happy with that, the CPU is overclocked (with SVM enabled), and it is not being stresed when not needed. Temps go to floor, voltage the same, etc.

Use "LLC Mode 4" for avoiding overvoltage whemn manually set the VCore.
