September 24, 20214 yr Well , yes It was a tough and time consuming effort. Nothing worked normally from the start. The board was dropping the cpu multiplier in random timing during benchmark , although any related option was disabled in bios. It was reading high temps from idle although my heatsink contact was perfect. I did over 30 attempts for that one valid result !!! It also kept loosing the dual channel ram option whenever it wanted. Northbridge and vrm's were both veeery hot , so i had to put a Delta fan over them. It booted win10 with normal multi only 1 in 10 times There were times that it would boot at 4.0Ghz but the performance was terrible. Most of the time i was using a windows app to dial clocks.
September 24, 20214 yr Usual things for cheap board and high-end cpu. Glad you still managed to get acceptable score.
