Agak agak batch baru ni sedap tak oc rasa macam nak try nasib sekali lagi jer

I heard best batches for 8700K are L739 and L740 which were manufactured last year (early batches).
Anyway, I still think that it's all about draw of luck. Batch numbers don't matter.

Hi guys
Is aorus gaming 5 good enough for 8700k?

Haha im trying 5GHz on gaming 3

AORUS Z370 Gaming 5 (RM891, same tier as ASRock's Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming K6 (RM805) and MSI's Z370 GAMING M5 (RM991).

Z370 Gaming 5 - 8+3 phases, has debug LED, 3x M.2, Wi-Fi
Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming K6 - 6+4 phases, has* debug LED, 2x M.2, no Wi-Fi
Z370 Gaming M5 - 8+2 phases, no debug LED, 2x M.2, no Wi-Fi

Gaming 5 is the best value Z370 board with the highest specs among the three.
Also, like other AORUS series it has best RGB illumination among the Z370 boards in the market.

Cons are:
1) Inaccurate voltage reading due to iTE Super I/O chip being used, rather than Nuvoton which is more superior.
2) UEFI BIOS is quite lacking behind other vendors such as ASUS and ASRock.
3) Loadline Calibration (LLC) for vDroop control offered in 3 levels only.

Wow..hardcore
Good luck!!

yes i do agree on the cons #1,2,3

For the vcore, i set 1.325, but in HWiNFO showing ~1.41v

In cpuz 1.296.

How to verify this yea owikh?

Most accurate is by measuring with a calibrated digital multi-meter (DMM).

Added a fan to my GIGABYTE Ultra-Gaming 2.0 VRM, temps went from 90c to 75++c. Now only dare to push it up.

Now 4.5 GHZ with max load temp of 84c during prime small FFT. This temp should be ok right ? Resit and repaste the Masterair 4 with multiple diff thermal paste also this temp, now on Kyronaught. I guess this cooler cannot <80 oc haha.

VRM overheat on Z370 Ultra-Gaming 2.0 has also been reported in OC3D's review.

Ironically, the version 2.0 is supposed to fix the same flaw found on the original release but it seems that it did not happen LOL.

Yeah I saw the video. Sadly I got it before the new video is out. Got it last month.

Well at least I am not aiming for 5.0 Ghz for now. 77c for the VRM seems acceptable for my case I think.

Guys.. My Asrock z170 pro 4 already dead. How to repair or claim warantry. Any other good mobo to oc es proc?

If warranty is still valid (3 years from ASRock) I don't see why not sending for RMA.
Your second question is too general without specifying actual model of the proc etc.

Hmm, just wondering if this is a software bug or really hardware issue.

When I stressing PRIME 95, sometime HWinfo shows the vrm temps will show the max recorded temperature of 115c when I am away.

But when I stare at the reading at full load it reads 78c to 80c and never go pass 90c.

Sometimes I see unrealistic reading such as 2c Motherboard temps and negative reading.

I suspect because of the iTE super I/O chip being used on the GIGABYTE boards.
This IC is reportedly not as accurate as the Nuvoton NCT.

Oh i see.

Btw, I tried putting a fan on the back of my motherboard to cool the rear VRM and CPU...to my surprise.....VRM dropped by 7c and CPU by 1c. Never expected this result.

I read most ppl say 1.4 V is the max safe for a Coffee Lake. Just want to clarify is that the one set in BIOS or the one displayed in CPU-Z/Core temp.

In BIOS I set 1.320 for 4.7GHZ, but in CPU-Z/Core temp only show 1.25 average when full load. So...the 1.4V limit is in the bios or in Windows ?

Thanks.

Good job in reducing the VRM temp bro, 7c is a huge figure.
I was wondering why GIGABYTE engineers are not able to fix this overheat issue on a revised board.

There's no safe voltage when it comes to OC but I'd recommend to stay below 1.5V under air/water and under 100C. Intel recommended max vCore is 1.52v:

Keyed-in value inside the UEFI is just a reading with no LLC affecting vDroop/vDrop has been taken into the account. So you can rely on the OS-based monitoring software such as HWiNFO64, CPU-Z etc, they will give you accurate voltage reading.

Found a buyer for my Ultra Gaming 2.0, he is gonna use it for a non-k processor which ia suitable.

Any motherboard can recommend ? Budget around 1.2k. Eying the Gaming 7 but reports on the vrm temps is like gambling.

Some say good vrm never pass 60c. Some 100+c....

With your budget, I think you can consider picking up either ROG Maximus X Hero or ASRock Z370 Taichi.
Wait till June 1st for waived GST.
