Issues with memory performance on the Gigabyte z890 EAGLE WIFI 7
Memory training requires time, yet with a fully updated BIOS it might still pose challenges. For the AIO, uneven pressure can lead to weak connections between the pins in the socket and the CPU pads. If needed, remove the CPU, check for bent pins in the socket, reinstall the CPU, then reinstall the AIO while ensuring even pressure throughout the screws.
A lot of details exist about this topic. In short, those CPUs are rectangular compared to older square models. They’re secured in the middle, which can cause minor bending and lead to higher temperatures. Poor pin contact is unlikely but worth considering. A contact frame addresses this if it was available (aliexpress offers affordable options). Edited November 14, 2025 by leclod
I don't believe the temperatures are problematic, and the CPU pins looked good during the inspection before yesterday's installation.
