Later while exploring the bios I accidentally rebooted to a 4.7Ghz clock no wonder it felt snappy, neither cooling or vcore or any other v! was not ready for that so fixed it quick.
Cooling wasn't tuned for 4.5 / LinX heat either. Fairly soon after 100% LinX load at anything above 4.2 with 1.35v cpu & 1.4 QPI or above the cooling collapsed and the test aborted,
need to work on getting more gas.

All the great things of this board that i just can't get over, yet the bluetooth needs ditching lol
I have a similar issue with my SS. It just isn't tuned for the load. I tried LinX at 4.6GHz with 1.4V and it was able to hold the load for 3 or 4 minutes, then it crashed because temperatures became positive

It was able to 4.7GHz for Vantage and '06, though.

I was booting at 5GHz for my 2D benches as well. This was on my UD9, though.
