I've read about peeps getting the Dark and have all kinds of problems.

I strongly recommend the Apex.

I would be interested in what you have read. Have any links?

Google is your friend.

So just saying things without substantiating them, got it.

At least evga doesn't abandon its customers like Asus does
I switched from a dark to a z390 gene
What i get from this change? RAM in qvl not working with xmp (gskill 4400c19) and no resize bar, also a 2 step more voltage for mine 9900ks
GG and farewell Asus

That's pretty interesting since EVGA is known for bad memory compatibility.

few updates info to msi mid range mobos:

8phase doubled vs fake 8 phases(true 4 phaes with dual inductors only).
uP1961 is a dobuler for sure.
the marking "FH UGF73N" driver chip should be up1962, its datasheet shows that the top marking is started with "FH".
and up1962 is a Single Channel MOSFET Driver only, it cant double phases.

using uP1961 doublers on vcore is really doubling phases like msi gaming5.
using "FH UGF73N" driver chip is not doubling phases, like z370m gaming pro.

Help! i´m trying to recover a rx570 with a FH UGF73N dead, but i´m not been able to find the datasheet or replacemement component. can you help me ?

I looked for the old link on the Internet Archive, one never knows.
And i found this: uP1962

uP1962 PDF Datasheet attached below.
You can find both uP1961 and uP1962 on AliExpress.

Hello Guys,

I just joined as I wanted to ask a question

Actually I own the ASRock Z370 Extreme 4 with an i7 8700k. I am not happy with the OC results of the ASRock and want to use some money on a "new" board as some are still available.

Do you have a recommendation as I have actually the choice between:

• MSI Z390-A PRO
• MSI MPG Z390 GAMING PLUS

I am also able to have a look at used ones here. I just want a board with good VRM cooling for stable and moderate OC.

Thanks in advance

For those two the -A Pro model is their basic budget line, the other one will be slightly more "high end" though not really a huge amount. What CPU would you be using them with? I think a used Asus Maximus XI Hero/code/formula would probably be the better option though pricier.

I have a 8700k (delid) and I also do not want to spend that much money on an old platform as I will upgrade when DDR5 is released and stable. I have also found a Asus Prime Z390-A (refurbished) on Ebay here. Is there any board up to 100 Euro which will give me an upgrade compared to the Z370 Extreme 4?

 

[teachmeluv]

In #3.287 it was written that this board here is also a good value

ASUS Prime Z390-A Sockel 1151 ATX Mainboard in Schleswig-Holstein - Lübeck | Mainboards (Motherboards) kaufen | eBay Kleinanzeigen (ebay-kleinanzeigen.de)

This is available at a price which I would afford. Why am I doing this?

My 8700k needs 1.38 V for 4,8 Ghz (the previous owner said he had it running at 1.28 V for 4,8 Ghz). Before I change everything I want a MoBo that is affordable atm and surely better than the Z370 Extreme 4 which has strange effects when you change something in the BIOS

I was lucky finding a Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Pro in the "Hardwareluxx-Forum" for a price below 100 Euro which is fine. Hopefully that board will handle my 8700k with way lower VCore
