The problem is this board's support for it is terrible.
It has AGESA 3.6.9.0 which allows the chip to run, but overclocking in BIOS is completely broken. Any BIOS settings to overclock the CPU don't take effect.
It needs AGESA 3.7.0.0 in order for BIOS overclocking to work at all.
The only way I can overclock is in Windows using AMD Overdrive.
In order to change the multiplier at all I need to enable then disable Turbo.
Even with that, the multiplier simply will not go higher than 20X.
If I try and set it to 20.5 or 21X for example, the cores still all show 4GHz @ 200HTT and simply will not go higher.
Also, there is a strange issue when I set HTT speeds higher.
If I put it to say 210HTT x 20 = 4200MHz, which is confirmed in CPU-Z, 3Dmark06 CPU tests slow right down in the middle of them, and I only get ~4500 CPU score.
And so far I can't get my GPU scores as high as I did with my 965 @ 4242MHz
