3900x wanting to swap my motherboard.

I’m not happy with the VRM temps on my MSI X570 Pro Carbon now I have my hands finally on a 3900x.

So I have decided to return it.

So looking for a new motherboard. I was looking at the Asus X570 Strix E Gaming but after a bit of research there is no temp monitor for the VRM ?

Only the Hero and Formula which are priced to high imo and have features I don’t need like 2.5ghz lan and WiFi...

What about the Gigabyte Aorus X570 Pro? Is this a decent mobo? Any issues with it?

Cheers

I would think the vrm on the x470 Hero V11 would barely break sweat even running a 3900x oc on all cores tbh.
look on youtube for a low down on the vrm by buildzoid of gamers nexus

Thats x570 money tbh..

How hot do your VRMs get out of interest?
Does that mobo have a fan system for chipset or heatsink?

Its creeps up to 90c....

It has a chipset fan and heatsink...Its a great mobo for 3700x but not paired with a 12/24 thread 3900x

I can get 50 quid cashback on the X570 Hero making it £325

elite is £196 and can get Pro with wifi for £240 .

Naturally Pro has higher PCB layer and VRM - designed to handle 16+ cores

Finned heatsink array is on the main bank of VRMs as well - then you've got the added benefit at hounding Gigabyte rep on here for Bios updates and any issues etc

techincally Elite handles 12 x Digital 50amp SiC634 = 600amps VCore - more then Pro but PCB is lower and Heatsink cooling

Max Op temp 150c

Pro is 12 x 40amp IR3553 = 480amps but have 6 layer PCB along with heatsinks

Max Op is 150c as well

I think @GIGA-Man mentioned a while ago that Gigabyte stick sensors as close as they can get them to heat source. Master and Xtreme believe with those expensive VRMs can monitor their temps directly

Thanks for the info...looking at the Elite....V Pro....do you think the ultra is worth it?

Would go Pro over ultra personally . Does the job the same without the extra flair or being slightly cooler. Again £240 for Pro with WiFi .
If you are after the coolest option then Ultra , but to see it shine your case has to have good airflow . If using AIO then Ultra helps due to lack of direct airflow over them with increased surface area etc

8 core, B550 when they rock up will be more then enough, and current ones are if your gaming. Running say Geomapping and it will die within the first 2 days of workload out of 4 etc

All depends on the end user

I have x470 Gaming 7 Aorus. Might swap for x570 Ultra for slight increase in VRM and the heatsink due to an ATX case being in an ITX case ! Along with push maybe from 8 to 12 cores

I’m using AIO

Either pro or ultra would be fine

Cheers..is the pro worth the £50 over the elite for a 3900x running stock...
