F9g on UD4 seems good (Don't want to speak to soon here but so far so good :p)

My default OC went in quicker than with older bios. (Sometimes would hang and go back into bios and need to be saved again) This time first boot straight to desktop at 4.0Ghz.

That's what I've found with F9e I haven't had one failed boot since I put it on. I'm not sure if I should put g on just yet incase it upsets things!

I think F9g is worth it, I'm using 4.4Ghz as default clock now. Boot up and rebooting is fine. No weird bios re entry thing anymore. Temps hit low 70's in Intel burn test. This CPU is epic bang for buck'ness :D

I can't believe how good this setup is for the money (CPU £270) (Mobo £150). Especially with DDR4 price dropping so much around the web. Seen 16GB DDR4 2400mhz for around £170, better priced than equivalent DDR3 !

I encountered a really annoying issue, for some reason my old Windows install stopped working. It refuses to boot. Took me a while to figure out, thought i had a bios setting wrong for a while. Just re installed and here i am.
 
Yeah I will be doing a fresh install. I was using Windows 10, and I couldn't get CPU-Z to work which is pretty crucial IMO for a new CPU. So I'll boot a few times into the old install to get a nice stable OC at about 4Ghz or something and then put on 8.1 and fine tune.
 
Welcome aboard. Make sure to check out the thread in 8 Packs section where we all help he other S2KIP. I'm now attempting to tune my memory then I'll focus on the cpu clocking.
