Z390 Aorus Owners thread

[LambChop]

Haven't seen a thread yet, probably due to there being not many boards out in the wild yet.

Thought this would be a good idea to post our settings, overclocks etc

Don't get my master till tomorrow but no cpu yet anyway. Going to be running a 9900k with mine with h150i

Nice..

Just got my Master, 9900k and H150i will build the rig on Saturday, will be handy to have people with the same specs to share.. i got the OEM cpu, what version are you getting? Thanks

Nice, identical to me.

Got retail though, just waiting on shipping. Hopefully soon.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts over the weekend

I got G-Skill Trident Z, the C14 3200Mhz stuff. (2x8GB)

I will shortly be joining the club after finally giving up waiting and scratched that damn itch. I just ordered a Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Pro, Samsung 970 EVO 250Gb (both for a very, very good price plus £30 worth of Costa Coffee vouchers to sell on and £5 cashback on the Evo) and a i5 9600 for a reasonable price from elsewhere. The 9600k at first glance doesn't seem like much of a upgrade from my 4790k but the games I play are for the most part single threaded so If I can get that 9600k to 5.2Ghz it should actually get me a nice bit of gain. I really wanted a 9700k but I am not paying £450-500 for a cpu and £180-230 for a extra pair of cores over the 9600k is terrible value. At least I will be on a modern platform and will be able to drop in a i7 or i9 in the future should my needs change. I can also sell my current cpu/mobo/ram while they are still worth something. This will be my first Gigabyte board since the P31-DS3L I had back in 2007-2008. That was a hell of a board for the bargain price it was selling at and if I remember right someone on here had a Q6600 running at 3.8Ghz in one.

Just need to choose some 3200mhz (maybe higher) memory now.

Welcome to the club.

Some c14 3200mhz will be fast enough

The fastest for the money has to be c14 3200. Yeah you can get c15 3600 but it's expensive. CAS all the way.

Got my master running with my 9900k now, pretty solid, and was a bit nervous going from Asus bios to GB bios but the GB bios is pretty much awesome. Not a problem at all here.

After you guys did a fresh w10 install, what board drivers did you install?

 

[LambChop]

Just a quick question, I ordered an NVME drive, is the screw pre installed on the Master board?

No. You get a little screw in the accessories.
