The number one thing to do is find a Dual Processor Mainboard that supports @ least 1 [if not 2] M.2 Socket 3 such as the ASUS Z10PE-D8 WS. At this time there are not many MFGR's of Dual Processor Boards supporting the M.2; ASUS & GIGABYTE. If you purchase a board supporting M.2 then you will be...

I checked that & its not set to "passive". At this time I am just going to close this out & live with it being the "personality" of the Board itself. I'd like to thank everyone for their suggestions.

I neglected to add, I am using BIOS v1.90 also.

IRT "Aaron_ATX". I appreciate your suggestion & will seriously take it to heart. I apologize not getting back to you-all sooner. New Subj: I also have a MSI X99X MPOWER running the i7 5960X. I do not experience anything like this with the MSI Board but.. the best I can do stability wise on this...

IRT the fluctuating ASRock X99 OC Formula with i7 5820K Haswell-E. Here is my BIOS configuration: OC Tweaker CPU Configuration CPU Ratio [MULTI] = All Core All Core = 45 CPU Cache Ratio = 33 iNtel Speed Step [EIST] = Disable DRAM Tweaker DRAM Frequency = AUTO -or- PreSet...

EIST Disabled.

When OverClocking to a stable 4.5GHz & while CPU sits idle the Core Speed fluctuates between 1.1GHz & 4.5GHz. Applying a "load" the CPU immediately kicks up to 4.5GHz and holds steady. Lowering the OverClock to 4.4GHz produces steady Core Speed of 4.4GHz @ idle , no fluctuations; just a nice...

The thing is, you paid your money, your hard earned dollars for a Board that functions 100%, not a Board that some things work & some things do not work. I have the same Board & I have not had a problem. I run that thing hard most of the time; 4.5G when rendering 3D [I do batches of AutoCAD]. If...

In todays MKT it is all mostly a personal preference.
