Only way to avoid that completely is to spend highly on the X570 Aorus Extreme as I think it's the only passively cooled chipset motherboard out on the market.Īnyway, that's my $.02 on the motherboard subject. Here is one that is more detailed and includes X570 boards.Īlso, there is the possibility of chipset fan failures on X570. Here is a simplified list of motherboard ratings according VRM quality and quantity for just B450 and X470 alone Midrange class X470 wouldn't be bad either if you want some extra stuff, higher VRM count, and/or want to play with SLI/Crossfire

A good B450 board will do you well enough if you are not going to SLI/Crossfire anything and you're not going to get access to PCI-E 4.0 protocols unless you buy a Ryzen 3000 series processor. Or i been thinking in getting a asus x570 tuf gaming plusĮh, unless you are going to be going to Zen2/Ryzen 3000 series any time soon, I wouldn't bother. The only settings you won't have are the CPPC ones as those are exclusive to Zen 2. and then followed the directions for what BIOS settings to adjust on this page. In any case, I went here for the updated Power Plan (since all the PCs in the house are on 1909) However, with either one of the power plans, voltages normalize better.

I just wanted to try it out as Windows Balanced keeps the voltage high (like spikes to around 1.45V), and makes the frequencies bounce a lot (which is understandable as Windows Balanced minimum processor state percentage is 5% while AMD Ryzen Balanced sits at 90% and 1usmus UPP has a minimum of 99%). I really don't know if 1usmus Universal PP 1.1 is really doing much for my wife's system. I have a 2600x I did look up the other settings. Temps are at around 57C using the Wraith Prism cooler with Low speed setting and ambient room temp of 22C. Looking at Ryzen Master now, with World Community Grid running, it's doing the frequency bouncing with the highest voltage bounce at 1.3375. It bounces between 4,025 and 4,125mhz respectively. I apologize profusely that I could not be of more help with this. Voltage swings are the same between 1.31-1.325Īlso, I think Gen2 on Promontory would be the better option. I did adjust what settings that the Taichi had in BIOS such as CnQ, Global C-State, and Power Supply Idle Control (She's on 2700X, so she won't have CPPC).only thing I have noticed is that the 1usmus UPP holds 4125 a little better than the AMD Ryzen Balanced PP. Only thing that I have done differently on my wife's computer is played around between the Ryzen Balanced PP and 1usmus Universal PP (Yeah, I know it's only for Zen 2, but I was curious) I have since gone to Beta 3.78, but I haven't bothered to go back and play with PBO. It took me hours to figure out that in order for it to work on my wife's system that I needed to set the voltage options to OC mode, set LLC to Level 4.Only then, would it boot. In fact, when I first tried it, it wouldn't post and reset back to fail-safe. On my wife's board, PBO doesn't play well with the system. I am going to be honest, I really have not played with PBO or OC settings too much.
