Motherboard throttling A10 7870K

I have seen a ton of issues arising from Giga boards or even Asrock . When the new FX and FX based CPUs came out the power draw was so significant that I think it caught many mobo manufacturers with their pants down. Some added a feature to the BIOS called HPC which would help with current based throttling but many of the manufacturers just never got on top of it . In the end the only "good" FX boards were the top two ASUS Sabertooth and CHV-z. There were a few others. My first FM2 board was a Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-UP4 and I quickly upgraded to the Crossblade since my ideas of overclocking aren't what you would call mainstream. I had much better luck and less frustration after making the switch.

This continued aggression toward the 970A-UD3 will not stand. This aggression will not stand, man.
