Posted April 8, 2019 i will soon be building this new system since I got all the parts that are needed. However. This Motherboard which is the Gigabyte Z390 Aurus Master. It has 2 8 Pin CPU Power Plugs. But my LEPA 850w PSU only has 1. Will that be an issue with this board if its only connected using the 1 CPU 8 Pin Power cable?

Posted April 8, 2019 The motherboard and CPU will be fully functional with only 8 CPU pins, but why did you shell out so much for an extreme OC board if not to do an extreme OC? And what CPU will this be accompanied by?

Posted April 8, 2019 You typically only need one of them. The other is normally for extra power when overclocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that's not LN2 is fine with a single 8-pin. As I said, it's as useless as RGB, and does equally much for performance. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 8, 2019 Author On my current system which is a 3930k. I have Turbo enabled which boost the CPU from 3.20Ghz to 3.8Ghz. I plan on doing the same with this new system. Just turning on the Turbo Mode. and it just goes to 5Ghz on one or two of the cores. Should I leave Multicore Enhancement enabled or disabled? for someone who isn't overclocking. What do you recommend? This board is overkill for my needs. But its nice to have all those features. Should you ever want to dabble on it. But I think that's the whole point of my new build.

You are purchasing things based on reasoning that is not supporting of the purchase. What are these features that are nice to have but other boards don't? Turbo mode is what EVERY CPU does by itself on even cheap motherboards with stock cooling. You're buying a Ferrari and driving it in on city streets, but not the Autobahn. Nutshell: People are trying to save you money to get you almost the same performance, or use the uber stuff you bought to get max out of it. You should listen to them.

Multicore enhancement is an easy way to get extra performance without having to overclock yourself. That being said it does usually go a bit high on the voltage for some boards and manufacturers so u would make sure you monitor your voltages if you do decide to enable the feature.

Temps right now is at 86F / 30C I live in Southern Utah just north of Las Vegas and Death Valley, it get's up to 117 degrees Fahrenheit here in the summer and room temps are pretty similar to yours even my previous Z370 Aorus Ultra Gaming which is significantly lower tier than the Master was fine and that is with an 8700k OC'd to 5ghz on all cores. I think you're stressing over nothing. With a 5.0ghz overclock there should be no issues with VRM cooling even with those ambients and a lower tier board. And if you really do have a PSU from 2012 and are upgrading to such highend components you should definitely upgrade to a new PSU. I wouldn't spend that much money on such a highend system then slap a 7 year old powersupply into it. If you have the budget to buy the parts you are, definitely upgrade that PSU too.

I think you're stressing over nothing. With a 5.0ghz overclock there should be no issues with VRM cooling even with those ambients and a lower tier board.

Maybe I should upgrade the PSU to a newer one. Would 850w still be fine?
