DO you guys know what OEM makes the GA series?

What are you having conflicts with?

Between iCUE and HWINFO64. You have to disable monitoring of Corsair commander in HWINFO if you want to run iCUE. Another problem with Commander and Corsair is proprietary RGB connectors and cables.

Not for sure. They are not using SuperFlower anymore. THey have used FSP since so I would guess that.

Thanks, I read that somewhere but cant find out for sure. GA's started in 2019 but its hard to keep up with all the PSUs

And there are fewer reviews and active review sites which make it a harder choice. That is why I would only go with Seasonic or Superflower now, excellent PSU and the chances of finding detailed reviews on them are higher.

Yes iCUE support in HWiNFO is long known to cause problems and not recommended. What do you like to see from the Commander Pro in HWiNFO that you can't see in CUE? I recently brought the iCUE Nexus touchscreen that allows me to monitor all of the C-Pro sensors in real time on the screen...

If,I recall LLC6 is standard on Asus boards and have been used to that level since the 3770k days
I have always had it that way on Asus boards on Asrock boards it's LLC2 it's different on every board

For overclocking, Asus recommends LLC4.

Temperature sensors. In HWINFO you define custom sensors that are simple combinations of physical sensors, like Average temperature across cores - ambient temperature, rad input temp - rad exhaust temperature, and my ambient temperature is the average of two case front probes.

Not willing to give up monitoring these deltas and for the brief time I used icue, I did not see anything compelling to persuade me - and I can't use it for my 3-pin aRGB stuff.

There is also an issue with the fan stuff on the commander. The connector from the CPU fan does not have an RPM feedback wire so you can't control the fan or monitor it from anything in the passthru mode (I am a little hazy on the details - it has been a while). May actually cause issue with no CPU fan detected. I was shocked by this.

I believe your motherboard has 2-3 temp sensor headers. Why not plug your temp wire probes into those? They will appear under Asus EC Sensors in HWiNFO.
