vcore value low
CountMike shared his thoughts on the motherboard page, noting it seems limited in discussing overclocking potential. He emphasized that the current model offers strong VRM support and a solid 4.5GHz performance. He also mentioned his previous system used a GA-990XA-UD3 with a 4.8GHz FX 6350 for continuous use.
I agree. I remember the oc capability of this board was one of the reasons I bought it!!
Before this, the UD3 board failed due to a lightning storm, along with my PSU and R9 280X. I was using an fx8350 chip at 4.6GHz, though I managed to push it up to 4.8.
Just to be sure: I can increase the current vcore voltage (BIOS lists it as 1.476v) by small positive steps in the BIOS settings, but I need to check the actual vcore value after each change using AOD or CPU-Z since the BIOS doesn’t display it. I won’t go beyond 1.5v.
I’m planning an upgrade during Black Friday sales, so if things don’t work out it won’t be a big problem!!! LOL.
I enjoy flight simulating and am unsure whether to choose Ryzen or Intel—this chip handles most games well (Far Cry Primal runs at 45fps), though it struggles a bit in flight simulation.
Cheers
Absolutely. This is the issue I face. Should I choose the Intel path for improved single-thread performance or opt for the AMD route?
I've always preferred AMD because of competition and the advice from my software developers.
We must stop Intel and nVidia from taking advantage of us. It's clear now that AMD is offering better deals.
This should benefit consumers in the long run.
I know I might switch sides—from Intel to AMD—and I just hope Black Friday sales will make it obvious. Perhaps I'll just pick the option that's most affordable for me.
CountMike checked my system in the sig, even though my GPU flight sims aren't great. Graphics don't get too complicated with simulation programs; the CPU and RAM manage most work that requires more calculations.
