Speaking of Z590, check this bad boy out
EVGA Z590 Dark Motherboard Is Supposedly Coming Soon | Tom's Hardware
I want to point out a mistake in Shamino's posting that screwed me up a bit:
"So why dont we set DC LL to 0.01 and AC LL to whatever we need (since the actual vdroop compensation cpu
requests for boils down to AC LL Value)?
Well you can but when AC and DC LL values differ, the current and power calculations done by the cpu gets
skewed."
Instead of "but when AC and DC LL values differ", it should be "When LLC and DC LL differ". To get accurate power readings from the processor, you should have the DCLL set to the LLC (in mohms).
For instance, LLC5 is a loadline of about .79 mohm, so if you are using LLC5 you would want DCLL = 0.79, otherwise the power measurements would be off (and the power the CPU uses to determine whether to throttle or not). This has a side effect of reducing the VID displayed in monitoring, but not the actual VID sent to the VRM. The CPU power estimate that comes from the EC chip on the other hand is always correct.
