System Specs

UD4H absolutely hates any HTT past 250. So I am stuck at 3250 Mhz on the CPU. I was hoping to get at 3.4 with this board. This board runs hot too. The chokes runs hot even when idle, don't know how those review sites post 330 HTT with a 810. Last night I changed to a brand new Ultra X3 600W Modular PSU with 8pin EPS for the CPU to hope it might help in OC. It did clock to 262 but not game stable, so its not the PSU. Unlock extra cache or not 250 is the max.

My ECS runs way cooler than this board, sure it didn't OC but it OCed the same 810 to 3Ghz without any effort. For 250Mhz increase over ECS don't know if its worth spending that much time and money.

Thinking of returning this board and buying a MSI or Biostar or be happy with the ECS
