So I came across an opportunity to swap out my trusty 990FXa-UD3 for a new board and I selected the Sabertooth R2.0 because it has top of the line voltage regulation, a great reputation, and doesnt look like gamer puke.
So after I got the loop torn down and everything built back up this evening, I decided to throw in roughly the setting I ran on my old UD3 and what do you know its posts right up and takes me into windows. After 20 mins or so updating all my drivers I reboot and then put it into P95 blend for an hour. LLC works a bit differently than it did on my last motherboard. Also the lack of an estimated voltage when using offset mode is a little annoying but whatever.
I was successfully able to run P95 for an hour with what I would refer to as 2 notches in gigabyte land and topped out at 39C core temp. Not a bad start. From there things got a bit frustrating I had fail to boots, and sometimes the board decided to set something totally different from what I had entered. I dont know what was causing that but it seems to have stopped.
Right now I am beating on it at 4.7Ghz in P95 with WAY to much vCore... But I was having odd issues so I set alot of voltages way into the stable but still safe range. If this pans out for a while longer Ill try and tweak the OC some more. Rome wasnt built in a day and this Mobo behaves differently than my last 10 or so boards did.
