X570 AORUS PRO WIFI with 3900x and 32gig of ram

[spirch]

First build for myself since 2011 (and it was intel based)

 

to begin with, this is the build

what you can notice, I didnt get a gpu as of now, so i'm using my old 750ti until I decide which one to get.

 

also memory is b-die double rank

 

Host OS is Linux and I expect to run multiple VM

 

my questions are pretty simple:

 

people that have a similar builds, which setting did you change in the BIOS

Did you manually overclock the CPU or turned on the auto OC or just use as stock

the ram that I got work fine(did 4 pass in memtest), is overclocking/optimizing would matter for real life (not synthetic) performance?

people with D15 heatsink, what are your temperature?

 

more complex question, anyone with Linux;

 

do you build your own kernel, if yes what did you get built-in / modules?

do you get reading on all your sensors? which module do you use?

 

 

i will end with:

 

any quick suggestions that you can give?

 

 

 

(I guess I can start with 7 and come back with more later)

The sensors will be problematic as GB uses Super I/O chips from ITE which do not have publicly available datasheets so the senors team has to futz around to get them working. More worriesome is that this board uses a new Super I/O Controller, the IT8688E which is not supported. The secondary controller is a ITE 8792.

 

You can get the IT8792 working by installing the experimental it87 kernel module. The original maintainer, Gunter Roech, pulled the code from GitHub but others have since re-posted it here.

 

you will need build tools:

sudo apt-get install dkms build-essential

I suggest using the DKMS make unless you want to rebuild after every new kernel

sudo make dkms

Add the module:

sudo modprobe it87 ignore_resource_conflict=1

Find the Sensors:

sudo sensors-detect

Set the module up to load at boot:

"it87" to /etc/modules

Add the option at boot:

cd /etc/modprobe.d; sudo touch it87.conf; sudo nano it87.conf
adding "options it87 ignore_resource_conflict=1" (without quotes)

Further work ...

The 8688 can be made to work using the --force_id=0x8688 flag when inserting the module but this will also identify the 8792E as an 8688 leaving you with two chips with the same name which is confusing.

 

To get the IT8688E working with the IT8792E sensor chips and correctly identified first edit the it87.c file replacing all instances of "8686" with "8688" as the chips appear to be identical then make the module.

 

I compared the sensor outputs under HWinfo64 on Windows 10 and have mapped the sensors and will post a lm-sensors config once it is complete.

@Gorgon did you ever do this mapping? It'd be helpful since it doesn't look like we're ever going to get the data sheets from Gigabyte.

This should work: just paste it into a file in /etc/sensors.d (I use GA-AX570-PRO-WiFi.conf)
