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

@GIGA-Man My X570i overvolts vDDR and it gets worse the higher you go. 1.2v in bios gives 1.228v load, 1.35v in bios gives 1.41v load, 1.41v bios gives 1.488v under load. This is according to software/bios PC Health readings. Is this normal? Im getting much worse memory clocks than my MSI B450i if these readings are correct, its clocking according to the set value not the value im seeing in monitoring. Im on the F3 bios, 3800x and an EVGA 850w G+ PSU. All I have installed is 2x 16gb corsair 3333mhz b-die, an MSI 1080ti GamingX and a corsair 512gb MP510.

Im fine with checking the reading myself if you know where would it be easiest to measure vddr with a multimeter on this board?
 
Yeah, sounds like it switched to the backup BIOS.

During boot up, if you press the F2 key, does it allow you to toggle between the main and backup BIOS?
It just seemed to boot up into the regular main bios(ie the one running f4i) when I pressed F2.
 
@orbitalwalsh Thanks for the reply :) Im running Normal for vcore and Low for SOC. As far as I can find there's no LLC for vdimm for this board.

When I'm sat in bios 1.35v gives me 1.404v in PC health. When in windows I get 1.404v again (from hwmonitor and hwinfo64). When I run HCI memtest it goes up to 1.418v. It gets worse as vdimm increases, im at 1.42v now and seeing 1.488v to 1.496v running memtest. Ive had this kit of memory for 4 years now (its an x99 B-Die quad kit and the other two sticks are in my B450i, Im using the better clocking sticks in the X570i), I know it really well and its clocking as if im getting the lower bios selected value and not the higher value from software/bios pc health.
 
If any of you do get issues in the mean time, just shout me an I'll sort them ASAP. I plan on keeping no one waiting for more than 14 days maximum but when creating the T&C's will always push the date out a little in case of any issues.

I've bought a 2nd X570 Aorus Ultra to use in a DAW/music production rig, will I be able to get the £30 Steam voucher for that one too or is it only one per person, the name & address will be the same on the invoice but obviously it's a different unique invoice as I bought the second one from a different vendor.
 
@Mandroid I wouldn't mention and just give it a shot ;) - manually checked and not auto done so more chances to be okay lol


So what boards are people recommended?

depends on budget and needs

people finding b450 msi hit or miss, specially on reddit but most seem okay on here - but Gaming X for £182 gains traction as best X570 entry and design wise better then most x570 boards...
 
Hi @GIGA-Man has it been possible to find anything out with regard to my earlier post please?


@GIGA-Man

Hi, is there anyway you can feedback to / request from Gigabyte the following memory be tested and added to the QVL please? The specs of these boards all suggest they support up to 128GB but there are no 32 GB ECC modules on the QVL.

DDR4 ECC RAM

Crucial - CT32G4RFD4266 (preferred)
Kingston - KTH-PL424/32G

I have a gigabyte b450 m - but it’ll struggle with a 3900/3950

I've logged a support ticket with gigabyte about this now, hopefully they can tell me where I can measure vddr accurately myself. If not I guess I'll just have to send the board back to OCUK to see what they think, I can't help but think mine is faulty and this isnt normal behaviour for this model.
 
@GIGA-Man - any chance you can look into this for me? Think I originally submitted around 23rd July and chased up about a week ago. I was directed to promotions email address - sent email query but still heard nothing...

Hey Mikeym,

You should have got your codes yesterday, any problems let me know.

Okay, let me know what they say. You should try the new F4j BIOS... it has the new AAGESA 1.0.0.3 ABB code and offer much better memory support.
 
@GIGA-Man any news on fixing cold boot isues on overclocked ram?
Also is the chipset fan reads temp from amd x570 chipset or IO controler? As it looks like it works by checking IO temps not amd chipset.. am I wrong? As I always have 72-75 chipset temp with fan idling on low revs.. and IO controler temps like 50-60 :S

There are now new BIOS AGESA 1.0.0.3 ABB.. this also includes better memory support. Does this still give cold boot issues? I will check about the chipset fan.

It's only ment to be one per person, this is to stop companies buying multiple boards to get the vouchers then selling them on. If it's a personal purchase and you are leaving two reviews I might be able to help.

That dopes sound like a board issue though...
Thx for the reply - I agree but I'll give F4j a shot later, Ive nothing to lose! Ill try single channel tonight as well to see if it affects both slots. I'm almost certain its a bad reading from the board sensor rather than the actual voltage, my oc results are exactly what I would expect from the value im entering in bios. If it is just a measuring fault with my specific board it wont bother me at all, I just need to know so I can set up my oc properly with peace of mind than im not shoving damaging levels of voltages unintentionally :)
