Since I will have to wait a while for a new CPU, or even get a newer one, it may be worth selling my mobo too.

Tks!


I have LLC options with BIOS 3.xx, but I have read that this is revision related - newer boards having an updated VRM like chainsaw posted. Probably something you should ask TSD directly...


I did and they answered me saying OC may bring stability so better not do it. How frustrated I was when I got that answer.]]> Sat, 31 Mar 2018 07:27:21 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8222&PID=49031&title=x370-killer-sli-and-llc#49031 <![CDATA[X370 Killer SLI and LLC : augustobotossi wrote:I am going...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8222&PID=49030&title=x370-killer-sli-and-llc#49030 Author: Moba

After they removed LLC with new hardware revision "different VRM" i was assured by tech support if i RMA my mobo i will get one back with LLC, i was under the impression it was removed because a change in VRM not just from a bios update after my talk with tech support. i think the Gaming k4 and killer sli revision 1 "launch revision" had the better VRM and LLC. some would say the new revision is a better VRM but  we have seen verybad Voltage droop under load on the new VRM. loosing LLC is a killer for overclocks]]> Sat, 31 Mar 2018 01:16:14 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8222&PID=49012&title=x370-killer-sli-and-llc#49012 <![CDATA[X370 Killer SLI and LLC : cristy6100 wrote:He is refering...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8222&PID=49005&title=x370-killer-sli-and-llc#49005 Author: augustobotossi

It was also removed because of how Ryzen manages the voltages with the P-States, when switching to Turbo or XFR it will automatically boost the voltage up to and even 1.45V or more depending on the CPU binning process, this again make LLC a problem, when the CPU is already sending 1.45V to the cores you dont want LLC to overshoot the voltage even higher.


Thank you! I fixed the title and the text. Apparently, ASRock removed the option due to better components, but LLC has an impact when OCing . ]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2018 23:45:24 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8222&PID=49005&title=x370-killer-sli-and-llc#49005 <![CDATA[X370 Killer SLI and LLC : He is refering to LLC as in Load...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8222&PID=48990&title=x370-killer-sli-and-llc#48990 Author: cristy6100
