Aorus/Gigabyte X570 - Buildzoid Ripple tests with AORUS & ASUS

This is an interesting video and x570 power consumption and chipset fans.

https://youtu.be/qk3PD-4zPN0

His takeaway is although the power consumption on X570 is much higher than pother chipsets even at massive load the fan is seemingly not necessary and a cheap heatsink with no airflow kept temps in check.

If the fan is intolerable for me I'll be getting a temp probe on the chipset heatsink and seeing what sort of actual readings I get with a view to disabling the fan.
 
@Sin_Chase - usful info.

His long winded way of saying semi-passive just in time for your arrival - result! :)

Right now its always on. After our update (see above post) it will have a "fan off" mode similar to GPU's. It wont turn on until it hits a certain temperature.

Did they mention a curve you could set up in your chats with new BIOS?

The question about fan curves has been asked but was not directly answered. At the moment is appears they are looking at an Off until required method.

It might be a technical limitation of the board/fan. IE - no PWM and no ability to modulate voltage to the fan header. So it might simply be a case of all of or all on...we shall see.

I've asked questions about what they think about the likelihood of aftermarket cooling solutions and the mounting holes (Standard or not). Hopefully get an answer.

Thinking at a more general level....I can't see any reason why one could not butcher the existing chipset fan so that it plugs into a standard fan header. One that is already voltage controllable with curves on the fan controller. Pair it up with a temp probe on the chipset heatsink and you have your own curve solution right there....

15:45 onwards. Der8auer demonstrates a tiny chipset heatsink that just about does the job already.

Cheers, @Danny75, that's a really intriguing/confusing/creates more questions than it answers (in a good way) - video. :)

The figures are totally contradictory to what we expected - the Gen 4 NVMe compared to the Gen 3 difference, WTF?

Great, video - and as mentioned creates more questions than answers - but certainly gives me more confidence in crippling the PCH fan if i go x570 - recommend you watch @Sin_Chase (ignore - just noticed you've watched it - missed your previous post). Will look out for his next video for updates.

Below x570 power consumption cut from video (also includes x470 for comparison) - note idle consumption comparison between boards and difference between NVMe Gen 4 and Gen 3:

O have a feeling you'll be looking at £150 for a good quality B550 board.

Seems MSI lowest x570 boardwas 8 phases using 4 doubles 4C029 and 4C024 . B450 MSI used 4 of the low/high MOSFET I. Straight 4 . Guessing the would equal or be slightly less , maybe Straight 6 phases ?

Gigabytes lowest x470 was 10 phases with 5 doubles using single high and dual low MOSFET .
Guessing. Again they would either half it but most likely do 8 phases with 4 doublers or 6 straight 4C06N and 4C10N

@orbitalwalsh £150 is okay as long as they don't skimp on vrm and features.
Most people (myself included) don't actually need an x570 boards i/o and features...lol

How come you don't just get an X470/B450 board, especially if you are considering wasting ~£50 on DDR3 RAM. You can get a DDR4 3200 Crucial kit for £10 more, and do a full system update and have it for 6 months longer, or do you need something specific you hope that B550 will offer? :)

Just grab two (X470 gaming 7) :) job done !
Still above the elite and below the pro pr VRMs and rem wise should be up there with the Xtreme

Tempting - but I would like at least one new motherboard to play with at some point (not that i've played with the X470 Gaming 7) - and suspect that a quality b550 VRM may sit in the same place as above - maybe/possibly/perhaps (caveat protected).

*As an a side have discounted the B450 Pro Carbon for my son, at present time, as the 16MB EEPROMs are proving a tight squeeze for ZEN 2 (doubt it would be an issue if they didn't treat the BIOS as a bloated GUI competition). I will still recommend for new budget builds on forums etc - but 'if' it proves anything like the initial Ivybridge update on older 1155 sockets it's not ideal - again MSI boards. They eventually put very detailed instructions on the Ivybridge updates. I never had a problem but read about a lot of bricked boards - *suspect poor update practice in most cases* - so would prefer to avoid the Pro Carbon until they've confirmed that they've shrink wrapped the BIOS effectively, wouldn't be difficult if they dumbed down the GUI (most still in BETA).

You're right, it really is, but i haven't spent anything big on 'me' in ages - nada! Not even guitars - although i am buying a piano - but this was agreed years ago and for both of us so doesn't count! And i'm ignoring house renovation - as that was definitely for wife more than me - and was anything but enjoyable :/. I still haven't learnt to translate builder's talk, but have grown to hate their phrase 'easy-peasy' - as it loosely translates to 'I'll wing it and probably **** it up'.

I'm on my tod this weekend holed up in a hotel - so if i'm stuck talking b****x in the bar long enough i'll probably be tipsy enough to make an impulsive decision when i get back to my room. Actually, that's a real possibility - i better leave a post-it note on my laptop saying 'do not open if had more than 6 drinks!'

*And no taking advantage guys, if i appear - remember, no means no!

Bios space could be an issue , since agesa updates can range in size if your wanting to future proof the board if your BIOS update happy .

@tamzzy (mistake ) @Plec <<<<

Aorus 7 sits between £209 Elite and £260 Pro in VRMm power, but has 8 layer PCB Vs 4 and 6 of the former

Nothing.

Anyone one of or all 4 items on the order could be back ordered now as none are showing as having stock at present. Did when I ordered but probably missed out despite early purchase.

Such a shame, I did warn people time and time again Ryzen was in low stock, counter what over people were saying :(

Jeez, sorry to read that, especially as your order time was very quick, iirc(?)

PHEW! I think you would have popped had they missed your slot :D
