My 12700K SP70 is game stable (with E-cores disabled) at 1.182V Load (LLC 6 on Strix A, 1.190V set in BIOS I believe, manual voltage), but for it to be R23 stable I had to increase it to about 1.22V, so roughly 40mV higher, I haven't measured
exactly what it needs yet but since I've been testing memory I just increased voltage to about 1.24-1.25V Load, to ensure complete stability, and that's with 5.0GHz (50x) Sync All Cores, C-States Disabled, Turbo/SpeedShift/Turbo 3.0 enabled, and Cache/Ring on 4.7GHz (47x). I do have a beefy radiator setup for the processor though, triple radiator and the water temp never goes more than 1.5°C above ambient when gaming at ~100W.
I have been out of the loop for quite a while, what's the Gigabyte track record like? How quickly if at all, could one expect issues like these resolved? We talking about days/weeks/months?
It's quite weird none of the media has picked this up since running even stock speeds and timings seems impossible at the moment and it should affect all users. Number of reports of the issues are still somewhat limited and quite hidden in various forums.
I have no idea, I dislike Gigabyte products with a passion, not because I have anything against the brand itself per se, it's just that all of their products are rather.. poor, and that's just a fact. GPUs, Motherboards, Power Supplies, doesn't matter, worse than all of the competition, in general..
(there are always exceptions), they've had some good boards over the past few years but they've been very, very rare. So, I don't own anything Gigabyte and thus lack any deep insight in their track record, such as BIOS updates, which you would only know about if you owned a board, but to be clear, so you don't think I'm sounding like a "fanboy" of any such nonsense,
I did buy a Gaming X and Elite AX for Z690 to test out and
very likely keep, that was the plan, because on paper they are literally the best boards,
unbeatable price/performance, but nope, BIOS is basically
pre-alpha by the looks of it, they clearly don't care, since it's been a week now and still no BIOS update. So vote with your wallet I guess, support brands that know what they're doing. If a BIOS update isn't out within the next 5 days, I'm not even going to bother testing the boards, not going to waste my time messing around on a broken BIOS (and yes, it's literally broken, I had the same bug as Cuthalu but on my Elite AX when I tried it briefly a few days ago, I brushed it off as something I did wrong,
gave Gigabyte the benefit of the doubt, but after seeing Cuthalu encountering
the same problem on a different board.. literally just broken BIOS).
