Problems with GA-X79S-UP5 board - please help!

Now you got me excited Can't wait to see what was devised and especially what is the cause Looking forward to that update!

By the way, in my tests I did manage to stop the throttling by disabling cores, or rather by specifying in Prime95 Small FFT test or LinX to use less cores. However, the higher the voltage or the overclock, or both, the less cores and threads you have to use to avoid seeing throttling. So maybe at 4.4GHz I'm able to stop throttling by using only 3C/6T in Prime95 Small FFT but then at 4.6GHz I have to drop that to 2C/4T only. With that said, there could still be throttling occurring but it could be very quick so that I do not necessarily see the transitions any more. Just thought I'd share that observation. I'm pretty sure that at some point in time I documented it in one of the other threads...

I also did not observe throttling when AVX is not used, but that's not to say that it would not happen with a high enough overclock/voltage combination even without AVX. Not using AVX just reduces the overall current/power demands so it makes sense why throttling stops (at least to an extent).

well that is different b/c my C0 would exhibit throttling without AVX......


With AVX my C0 CPus just freeze at higher speeds and crash, they can't handle being stable at any voltage at 4.5ghz+.

I also did try without AVX to compare with F4R and previous, and it worked(IBT non AVX). Then i tried with F4R with LinX and the system kept freezing after a few loops, other BIOSes would show throttling and no freezing, thus F4R was stopping the throttling but the CPU couldn't take it, so I measured the input power on the 12v rails and it did confirm that the power didn't drop like it did with throttling with F4R.

i will make a video, but the issue is that people will think that i am showing the issue be fixed.
