I purchased this board and have been messing around with it a bit today. Unlike my previous Gigabyte board, this one seems to work. Currently, though without much testing, I'm running @3.9Ghz (200*19.5) with a vcore of 1.380. My problem is, my RAM is being weird. It seems to not like the CPU overclocked or something. It is showing 3.98GB RAM usable. If I revert to default, 8GB is available. I even managed to get it to 3.8Ghz and with 8GB of RAM. But even though I saved that profile and reverted to it after other overclocks failed, now the RAM is being weird again. Is there some setting I should enable or disable? I am running the XMP profile of 9-9-9-25-33-1T on my RAM @ 1.500.
Also, upon searching it seems common with 970 boards, but many of the threads I checked on multiple sites went unanswered
And yes, I still do hate Gigabyte. But as yous know, all other AM3+ motherboards in the 100$ range have VRM failures, except this one. And it was 10% off haha. But I am still filing a complaint with the BBB about Gigabyte.
