Just some stuff I did awhile back concerning the Gigabyte Aorus Master rev 1.0 and Crosshair VIII Hero.
I might be late to the party but the older I get the less of a beta tester i want to beThat said the platforms have matured a bit since launch.
All testing done at 1.35vddr or less.
Take this info and results on the Aorus Master with a large grain of salt as there is a 1.1/1.2 rev and I have no clue what they changed.
Single Rank 2x8gb passes fine stock volts actually I'm 1.34vddr with tuned out timings.
If using SR and 2x8gb the board will perform great and the UMC clocking is easy with all my cpu's doing 3800 with 2x8gb.
DR 2x16gb can get through this fine however when it comes to prime no matter what I attempted it would result in a hard crash even with just xmp loaded and 3600 spds. Maybe its the board revision, maybe its lack of bank group options in bios. No clue.
I can guarantee its not the memory as I'm going to follow that screen up with 32gb on the Crosshair VIII Hero.
Asus 32gb testing.
My findings on ASUS were that the UMC takes a small hit from 3800 to 3733 with DR installed. I did not see this happen with the gigabyte however since the gigabyte failed the rest except HCI its a moot point that it can do 3800 except in the case of "benchmarking".
In the real world however the ASUS can pass stability albeit 1 tick down on mem clocks so if 32gb is your goals I can suggest the Hero confidently and still sleep at night.
Any questions feel free to ask.
