b450 gaming paired with 5800x display
I couldn't share that detail since I don’t have access for testing, but generally the B450 boards from Gigabyte weren’t constructed very well, featuring average VRM designs, though the x570 series improved things significantly with better VRMs.
The issue seems to be with the Gigabyte VRM, not the chipset itself.
It seems you're comparing the Gaming X B450 to the Aorus version, noting similarities in VRM layout. You're also interested in a 5800X configuration and its potential impact on performance versus a 5600X due to higher core count. The power consumption is around 75A with limited airflow, reaching up to 1600W under full load, compared to 2500W for similar stock CPUs with air coolers. Various ASUS models are listed, including B550, X470, B450 variants, and more. The list also covers different CPU brands like Asrock, Gigabyte, and MSI, highlighting options across multiple form factors such as ATX, ITX, and mini-ITX.
The clocks would shift significantly between 4036-4400 under heavy load, while single-core speed dropped to 4650 down to 3750—this isn’t seen in the X570 variant. The B450 Aorus doesn’t offer voltage droop control options, which likely explains why stable operation wasn’t possible at full speed on the 5600x, though it still performed well at 4200mhz under load. I’ve only noticed temperatures reaching around 61°C on the 5600x and 47°C on the 2600x.
