Z390 - Gigabyte/Aorus - Xtreme Waterforce

They need to seriously look at there efficiency levels and memory speed optimization in these new boards, cause there z370 boards SUCK in comparison to other board vendors....
cause im not falling for the same mistake again.....

i did over 4000hz just fine , ITX Z390 pulls 4122hz with 5.3ghz on the i9. Elite hits 5.3ghz with 4000hz from leaked media slides - think their Social Media now showing this as they got out

Maybe i should have been a little more clear...
im possibly talking about only 8700k comparisons with 4000mhz memory.
the memory speeds and cpu efficiency is 200-300 points off other venders in cinebench and aida64 mem bench tests.
for instance asus apex with 8700k @:5.2 and gigabyte gaming 7 8700k @5.2 with both using the same 4000mhz 8 pack memory
the apex gets about 400-800 points more compaired to the gigabyte board.

or look at it another way, for both to be compatible in scores the apex would need to be at 5.1ghz and the gigabyte @5.2ghz to get the same score near enough...

im sure i brought it up before, and 8 pack put it down to gigabytes efficiency being lower and as for there memory optimization its really poor compaired to other manufacturers when it comes to XMP optimizations ect for there board *example* 8pack b -die 4000mhz memory @18.18.18.38 @XMP will not work on gaming 7 motherboards at there correct XMP timings even though there on the QVL list.
they currently boot @XMP 19.18.18.38... says everything, i need not say more.
 
The hardware on these boards is undoubtedly solid and the looks of Aorus are really fine tuned now.

Let's see how the bios and efficiency clock for clock is.

5.3ghz 24-7 8c 16t I massively doubt.

I agree the board's phases look a lot better this time around.

Not had time to watch this yet. But here's Buildzoid going over the boards on Youtube.

Thanks! This guys seems to know his stuff. Going to shortlist the Elite based on his recommendations. Sounds like Asrock will be just reskins so that leaves MSI and Asus in the running.

basically, its the X470, but in 6+2 phase set up and not 5+2 - if i can recalled the IR units arent 50A like the AMD version but are 40A but have more to spread the heat across and both are 480Amps Vcore

should be 6 doubled , not Fancy IR units as in the Master but not like the X470 Ultra with 'big 4/hybrid' that caught them with pants down

seems prime gets toasty on these chips at 5ghz


seems rough prices so far

Master = £288

Ultra = £250

Pro Wifi = £205

Pro = £195

Elite £184

Gigabyte SLi £165

Gigabyte Gaming X £144

did warn that Z370 isn't EOL and Z390 are higher end boards

All Gigabyte/Aorus Boards seem to be at least 4+8 CPU Pin

Any idea on release dates of the Apex XI? Seems to be mentioned a hell of a lot but no pics/specs so assume late to the party...

Seems like the Aorus Xtreme , guessing they'll be handed to record breakers first for promo then filter down .
Both MSI and Aorus now packing 16 phases so hopefully apex follows suit

Hope not but no major rush as I have the Apex X. Mainly interested in finding out if they will retail the Dimm.2 riser card separately to replace the terrible design included in the first gen.

Does this mean 10 phases will be sub par for the 9900k cpu?

Depends on how you look at design, lessor Gigabyte z390 are in theory able to take 650 amps across VCore but flagship is 480amp . Guessing it's more about the quality, lower cheaper components you'll need more of , higher quality should need lower but cost is high. Flagship z370 should eaisly be fine .
Just can't help but feel they have all designed boards like the x470 with 'extra head room'. All of gigabytes has 4+8 pins , whilst Asus it's only top end and then flagship for 8+8 . Or maybe they found out it spreads the load better giving entry boards the extra 4 pin
