Decided to skip the second install for now and got down to a bit of overclocking instead
Still have not been able to disable that fucking EPU app ARGH!!! So mostly running at 1640 GHz.
However am topping 4.4 GHz at 105x42

System still feels a bit sluggish though because of that stupid built in speedstep.
Think I might go back to B2 though, as this is the second B3 board I got and it has quirks on it too. (First one was quirky and then died) Like CPU idle temp is 38C, CPU load temp at 4+ GHz and 8 threads of blend is 40C. Going to have to put the temp probe on it and see what it is really running at.
