More on VRM Testing, Asrock Fails!
Added 2018-11-06 06:40:15 +0000 UTCI've got a behind the scenes video in the benchmark lab, let's torture some cheap Z390 boards :D

I heard about ASUS VRM from BZ and it's good to know both of you agree. Here we are trying to buy new motherboards we find we are lied to about VRM ASUS twin-eight is actally 4. Then we hear from GN all the little tricks board makers do to come out on top. It's looking like we can't get a straight on detail about what is actually going on with the mobo. We might as well get out a box of tinker toys and try tuning them up.

2018-11-06 10:57:10 +0000 UTCHey mate, I won't be able to simulate the humidity but the room temp I could, at least in summer. No chance I can get my room past 27c in winter though :D Anyway good idea and I'll see what I can do.

2018-11-06 10:56:41 +0000 UTCGday Steve. I live in far north Queensland where its mostly hot and humid, Would it be possible to recreate our conditions and do thermal tests with cpu's and motherboards (especially the hot 9900k ). There are alot of gamers that live up here across the top end or southern United States that do not have air-con or find it too costly to run all day and do not have ideal room temperatures. My room temp is around 27-36c, humidity >60% everyday. Keep up the great work fellas!
2018-11-06 10:48:38 +0000 UTCAs an owner, collector and user of old hardware I see your point, If a board said to support an extreme edition Pentium 4 or Core Quad Extreme and you burn it down cause they were laying in the specs, you may loose a board pretty expensive and difficult to replace.
