Z390- ASUS- Gene PCB breakdown

Have you run any tests with better pads on the Hero or others to see if the VRM heatsinks are able to deal with the heat more effectively?

I did it with my Strix z270 way back when along with Strix 1070c , dropped 10c as well as having fan right next to the heatsink from case design, managed to push 5.2ghz on the 7600k :D
. Did it on z370 gigabyte itx and went from 116c to 90c running stress tests haha, but the heatsink got so hot !
And that was pumping 1.44v at 5.1 haha

Anything to lower VRM Temps no matter the amount should increase the products life span :) all win win and a nice little mod adventure
 
amount of heat at the back of these board (all z390 boards) is quite hot, specially if they are using doublers , which half the time is mounted at the back and explains the heatsinks :)

wonder if we'll start to see a change in case design to get airflow to the back side of boards

I've seen some boards that have a small fan under the shroud next to the backplate. I guess we might see more like that as time goes on.

Asus also has a fan built into an AIO block to cool VRM's now also.

It's as if they knew this was coming! :)

would have been very bad if they didn't use noctua fan... Noise would have driven people nuts, down side is , as cheap as CLC are to make, those 120mm fans aren't for that unit . Damn good fans though !

Asus trade on name, not quality and hope they don't get caught out unless you are buying the very high end gear which is overpriced anyhow. When companies build a brand, and use the marketing and brand leverage to sucker people in, I am not sure who you blame the user. or the company themselves.

Seems Asus got caught up in some VRM issues . Posted up thread of the boards on a new thread .
Seems every vendor is really getting hit more and more with rise of social media etc
 
@Distracted

the have far more influence then what Gigabyte and ASrock do , and they got stung for X470 entry boards and Z370 Ultra. Least Gigabyte have learnt and came with a solid z390, seems they'll have no excuses to do the same with AMD X570... if not then they are favouring intel =/

Hopefully Asus learn like the rest and next round will be overkill release - hopefully with the price tag remaining the same .

MSI have been only one with a nice climb and not over the shop, ASRock seem to have lost that edge from z87/97/170 personally
