Aorus Z390 Pro Bios Recommendations

[VunnySilla]

My system is a bit too hot and I was wondering if there's any bios settings which could help cool my system a tad bit? I have a 9900KF and sorry to keep showing up here, thanks in advance :-)

If there's LLC (loadline calibration) settings available, set them to Medium. On Gigabyte's BIOS it should almost always be set to medium and it usually results in less under and overshooting, which can help with temperatures.

Other than that there's no other way except downclocking, or getting a better cooler, which is a much better option. The 9900K/KF/KS is a hot CPU, so a beefy air cooler or AIO such as the Dark Rock Pro 4 and H150i is recommended.

Thanks for the response, i'll check out the LLC and get back with you on this thread, I'm using a Noctua UH-12A but I'm debating if to get a Dark Rock Pro 4 but I'll see on that :-)

Dark Rock Pro 4 is basically the same. Your cooler can win, so no point.

Yeah, I would of got the NH-D15 but it's too big for the build unfortunately, I tried Medium LLC with no luck, I did a CPU-Z stress test and it reached 80 degrees so I don't know if it's ok or not, sorry :-(

80 degrees is still safe for a 9900KF. Toasty, but safe.

[VunnySilla]

Ok :-)

The 9900kf is just a hot cpu

That does seem a tad on the hot side is it that at full load ? how are you testing temps ? is it overclocked ? my i9-9900k runs at about 70 clocked at 5 all core, with a 240mm water cooler, but only runs at about 50-60 when running at 4.7 (these temps are from afterburner when playing warzone for reference) could you improve airflow in the case ? if using air CPU cooling some of the time the fan can be blowing rising warm air from the GPU through your CPU cooler.

Hey dude sorry for the late reply but I was asleep, 80 degrees was the result from the CPU-Z stress test, simply browsing Google give me temperatures or 35-40 degrees with an occasional spike of 50 degrees, while playing more cpu intensive games I get to temperatures around 65 degrees with 70 usually being the most, I'm running stock too and the fans on the cpu and gpu are facing away from each other
