The new microcode has been released for months and asrock msi asus have already rolled out new bios for that quite some time ago.
but as of today gigabyte has still not yet uploaded the corresponding bios, even after the press posted...
thats bs.
max power consumption comes from two sources, the pcie connector/16pin AND peg connector.
12v2x6(h++) means 16pin=600w + peg=75w only, not new 16pin=675w.
stop copying news plus misunderstanding the source.
thanks to the io shield + io shroud plus large fins(horizontal), heat has no way to go after passing through the fins and then got trapped on z690 master and z790 master.
the fact is both asus c9h and asrock x670e steel legend have no level shifter/redriver for HDMI port used.
as for msi am5 lineup, models (eg b650 carbon) with it66318fn used are speced as 4k60, while models (x670e tomahawk) with pi3hdx12211 are speced as 4k120.
gigabyte has a similar practice as...
that mosfet on the bottom right of the gpu die is one of the two vram phases, and the load of vram phases is much lower than the load of vcore phases.
we used to see a similar practice on rtx3000 series cards like rtx3080 from gigabyte and evga, they seem fine though.
w1zzard should have...
you dont know about other brands' cards....just because they have no PCB cracked...it does not mean they are good.
and...there are still some pcb cracked cases from asus and msi as well...
i think what he meant is after experiencing external force during shipping, the cards installed in cases are likely to be broken no matter what brand it is.
brands other than gigabyte might not have as much pcb cracked as gigabyte cards do, but they are probably still broken and have large...
i would like to add one thing:
gigabyte due to some political issue, has been widely "banned" in mainland china, 90% of users / kol / media in china would keep discrediting gigabyte just to be politically right in china.
so, saying gigabyte is not bad in china is actually risky.
