Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite PCB Breakdown notes
Added 2023-02-24 14:07:21 +0000 UTCVcore
OnSemi NCP81530 8phase
16x OnSemi FDMF5062 70A SPS
bulk input filtering: 6x Nichicon FP 270uF 16V 10K@105°C
bulk output filtering: 10x Nichicon FP 560uF 6.3V 10K@105°C + 1x 330uF POSCAP in socket
400nH inductors (effectively 200nH per phase)
1.2V 600KHz
SPS and chokes
200A 16W
300A 26W
400A 38W
500A 51W
// the power plane near the CPU socket can reach over 100°C without airflow in sustained overclocked 100% loads with a 13900K due to the 6 layer PCB. The VRM actually runs cooler than the power plane in this scenario and settles at around 95°C in a 21C room. With anything less than a 13900K this is not a concern.
voltage regulation and LLC:
optimal LLC is low or medium
iGPU
NCP81530 1phase
NCP302155 50A DrMOS
VCCIN AUX
MP2940 2phase
NCP303160 60A SPS
memory:
6 layer daisy chain // QVLed to 7600 but I'd stick to 7200 or less
wifi 6E
multi key // can be configure to function as safeboot and has front panel header
CLRCMOS
Qflash Plus
POST LEDS
4x 4.0 M.2 //1CPU, 3PCH shared bandwidth // 3xM.2+6xSATA or 4xM.2+4xSATA
CPU PCI-e: 1x G5x16
PCH PCI-e: 1x G4x4 and 1x G3x4
Comments
It worked. It passed Memtest86. I'm try linpack extreme tomorrow. I see a huge performance increase in COD MW2. I was around 300fps now it's 340+. Thank you!

2023-02-26 19:11:19 +0000 UTCI dont' have that specific kit but it should behave similarly to the 7200C34 kit I used with the Elite.
Actually Hardcore Overclocking (Buildzoid)
2023-02-26 11:01:23 +0000 UTCI'm using a Hynix A die 6400 cl 32 with this board and 13600k OC to 54x. I haven't seen any info anywhere on how the G. Skill 6400 cl 32 is OC. Have you OC those RAM before?
