That's the bevaiour of Asus and I think MSI boards. Asrock and Gigabyte still needs user input for frequency, even though all of them scale timings according to XMP profile when you run different frequency settings with the same timings.

I dont know nor care if mouse control in the BIOS works or not, but it's the "Auto" next to the 32 that you should change. If mouse doesn't work, use the keyboard's arrow keys, +, - keys, escape key and enter key.
 
that's normal, DDR memory's data rate (the commonly used number) is double that of the actual operating frequency because DDR means double data rate, or sending data twice per operating cycle.

Calm down, the coloum on the left is the settings the board will take at boot while the coloum on the right is the XMP profile settings. Just set the value on the left to 32 and you can save and exit the bios.

OC is just another way of saying "I'd rather pay than to do it myself", so it depends. There's no difference otherwise

Thank you. So there is no reason to pay more. The card is overpriced anyway 😅

yeah?

From the motherboard to the side panel in particular

Not to be rude but... why not take a measurement with a ruler on the machine first?

I mean their logo is literally an eye, of course they are watching 😄 

The VRM area looks exactly like the B550 TUF boards so it's probably tier A material as well, but the heatsink did shrink so I wouldn't say it's as good.

A year ago, when I wrote that, SEUS PTGI only supports Nvidia (which means others will be a hit or miss experience). Good to know AMD cards work with it today.
 
That couldnt be futher from the truth, the higher core count models are always binned better and have more cache so they are faster in single core performance as well. The only assumptions here are to run them without the power limit getting in the way and enough cooling to keep temperatures down.

Huge difference between Tjunction and GPU temperature is a sign of poor thermal paste, either it's drying up unevenly or it wasn't covered entirely by paste. Either way it's time to take it apart.

I only considered VRM thermals, which the Master is unlikely to survive 300A output (less and weaker powerstages, so heat output will ramp up faster and higher at that point than the C8H) anyway. I'm not talking about the best OC boards, this list is just to stop people from buying underwhelming boards for their CPUs.

SFF desktops become more popular these days, they also care about size and weight. I have 4 HDDs in my ATX system cuz it doubles as a family storage dump and the whole thing is easily 25kg... Certainly too heavy to take on an aircraft without getting charged extra.

My bad, should have take a rest

Why wont they just go make DDR5 then? Those can be sold for more per unit of material.
 
As DRAM cache goes, DDR4 is sufficient. Also I dont think DDR5 is made in different process nodes than late DDR4. I know Hynix just uses 10nm for both, maybe different revisions but still.
 
This is the only reasonable sounding one to me.
 
1. There's not much use for huge capacity SSDs. 4TB+ drives are typically bought for durability, redundancy, price etc, not performance. SSDs dont have much advantage on this segment of the market over HDDs. Especially since QLC NAND that they tried to use to reduce price wasn't well accepted on this expensive side of the market at all.
 
2. Even if DDR5 became popular, SSDs still won't get cheaper any quicker. They are bound by technology of silicon manufacturing, not DRAM or NAND.

You can run it with DisplayPort, just dont expect games to run that quickly. HDMI depends on the display, the GPU could do it.

The following list is based on facts, ranked on power delivery and known problems. The list will include boards that support CPU overclocking available at retail from different brands.
 
There are still differences in performance among boards of the same tier. As a result, those that barely made it into that tier will be in orange while those that are better than others in the same tier are in blue. Unless specified, boards sharing the same name and chipset in different form factors are ranked the same.

All current draw figures are based on Prime95 small FFT with AVX unless otherwise specified, in other words the worst case scenario.
 
Only often recommended sku of CPUs in the same generation and core/thread count configuration is named, others share the same rating.
 
Zen scales down frequency and voltage according to EDC (current limit) and TDC (thermal limit) settings of the motherboard so in theory you won’t cook the VRM of any board at stock, you just lose frequency.
 
For tier A and above, due to lack of feasible CPUs that allow testing of the boards at higher current ratings, there are some level on guessing in terms of how much more power the VRM can take.
 
AM4 (Athlon, Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5, Ryzen 7, Ryzen 9)
 
B550 and X570S Speculation: If you cant find the board above, then it should be here. If it's already up there, then ignore what it's placed here
 
TR4 (Ryzen Threadripper 1xxx and 2xxx) X399
 
sTRX4 (Ryzen Threadripper 3xxx) TRX40 (largely guessing since there's little data)

Cache saves previously processed stuff (could be machine code or other data) so it doesn't have to execute the whole way when the same command is run again. It's however a pointless metric if you're just looking into buying a CPU, benchmarks is still more reliable because cache size cannot be seen as a performance metric.
