Interesting. I'm trying not to play too much today, need to do some work.
Yep, 4.1Ghz stable at 1.46v-1.48v. Not tweaked voltages, so perhaps can lower this.
This is really weird, i guess i was getting voltage overshoot and was making things unstable. Interesting. On to 4.150Ghz.
Okay this is really weird.
The AMD 17.3.1 chipset drivers you linked are 110MB, but the Gigabyte "AMD 16.50.2601 chipset driver" is 1.26GB and contains none of their motherboard bloat, the MSI one (also 16.50.2601) is 1013MB and the ASUS one for the Crosshair is 1.26GB (and listed as V9.0.000.8).
Add to make thing stranger, I had forgotten this but when I installed the Gigabyte ones, the Radeon installer thought it was installing a graphics card lol (the setting up/ready to use messages were for a gfx card not a mobo).
Perhaps they are bundling the Crimson drivers as well. Without taking a look I'm not too sure.
