Notes on motherboard:
- This is currently my daily driver and works great but suffers in single core performance
- The motherboard is currently running a modded version of the latest beta BIOS (all-core unlock + slight undervolt)
- The motherboard does not allow me to change the PL (advanced power management) so the chip will TDP-throttle at roughly 3.1GHz All-core
- Condition:
- There are some scratches on the I/O cover
- I have never been able to get the RGB to work correctly (possible software clash) - most of the headers are currently unplugged
- Saving any BIOS settings freezes the machine, even if the settings do actually persist
- During the colder months I had some cold-start freezes just after booting into Windows. I don't know if it related to the beta / modded Bios or to something like dodgy caps (I am leaning to caps)
- I suspect that some of the USB ports do not provide enough juice (cannot charge my mouse on them) - but I have no idea on how to test that
