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.

Usual things for cheap board and high-end cpu. Glad you still managed to get acceptable score.
