I am running an i7-7700k it autotunes from 4.2 to 4.7 Ghz not 5 Ghz many report
My main problem on which I may return the motherboard CPU and/or Ram is that it will not post into Wiindows 8.1.
If I go to my bios and turn on XMP Profile 1 that's 4000 Mhz no dice it freezes crashes tries to reboot several times then only comes up at 2133 Mhz.
Major Bummer!
Have tried to call California support and have lost 5 calls disconnected with no progress all returned calls took hours then were dropped my reception not the best.
