Anyone using Gigabyte Gaming series 7 or 5 motherboard? whats your VRM MOS temperature when OC. mine gaming 7 VRM hit 97c when oc @4.9ghz meanwhile proc at 75c 8600k. keep bottleneck. open casing side panel and table fan blow direct to motherboard the VRM temperature drop to 82c. MB keep bottleneck. kinda sucks

Hi there, i'm using Z370 Gaming 7, no VRM heat issues. The VRM problem of this motherboard really depends on luck. many on the Gigabyte forum or reddit has this problem, but i took the risk and I'm lucky to not have this problem. the workaround is to buy good and thicker thermal pads for the VRM and change it yourself.

Guess what bro, i took out the vrm heatsink and then screw it back tight. Press very hard and screw tightly. The vrm temperature straight drop.... Prime 95 small fft test at 4.9ghz previously vrm was 97c and keep on raising no ending now become 71c and maintain there no aircond room. If turn on aircond drop to 66c. All 2 hours test prime95. Guess their production really didnt screw tight for some of the board. This post has been edited by djandrew: Jul 18 2018, 12:25 AM

Asus is my next list. well, im waiting for z390 board heard they gonna launch somewhere this year?

Tho the gaming 7 has one of the best vrms tho I wanna wait but the temp too high and caused thermal throttling I'm surprise it didn't shut down when then vrm reaches 126 C tho I think should be this year

Update CPU microcode for upcoming CPU 2. Improve windows boot time i flash to this F7 and tried and it is so buggy lag, at the end i flash back to F6 downgrade back. by the way i guess it is really around the corner the upcoming intel cpu release.

Yup The 8 core iirc But also coffee? But no news about the chip set right?

The 8700k is more than enough If the Z370 can support 9th gen then its good If cant also nvm haha Btw, chipset =/= cpu
