Slapped in B450 Aorus in my own rig before its sent down south to a friend to try a trash the hell out of it .
Seems reviewers that used software gave the Aorus and Strix a bashing , whilst those using thermal cameras set it was fine and as you expect with £100 boards .
The reviews used Stock air cooler which would blow over VRMs as well but not the best cases or cases with full config of fans .
Using Dynamic case loaded with 9 Silent Wing 3 high speed fans- meaning they can reach 2200rpm an doit a LOT of airflow !
Also seems few on here have mentioned this or B450 boards shouldn't be use or not ideal for 8 core ryzen chips... Load of BS.
My 2700 chip isn't the best.. it's aweful and can only just reach 4.1ghz overclock all cores .
Some reviewers managed 4.1ghz on this board with 2700x using 1.42/44 volts .... I went with 4ghz and max recorded Volta of 1.46v !!!!!!!!! Using AVX instruction stress test (will do others as well)
Your looking for TMPIN4 for VRM temps
Then left at 4ghz and turned down volts to 1.4-42
Left at stock settings
Few snaps of the board board in the case taken off phone , will load up pretty ones later
Just awaiting thermal laser and can do some few temp snaps before I have to strip the board out ... GAMESCOM in soon .... Bye bye GT730..
