My Ga-990FXA-UD3 mother board is throtting my AMD FX-6300 at stock.

Rev 3.0, I know this is a problem almost every person has with this revision of the motherboard. I believe I'm past my 30 days for Amazon and I don't believe there is a BIOs fix for this as there is no APM and the BIOs are really just crap...

Probably the 192802938th person to post this, but anyone fix this problem with this motherboard that can help me out?

Highly upset I wasted $110 on a "high-end low budget" board. More like overpriced junk.

If it doesn't work I'm thinking of getting the ASUS m5a97 LE R2.0 as I built my friends PC with it and it was very user friendly and I've seen some good overclocks on it.

By throttle I mean dropping from 3.5GHz to 1.5GHz to 4.5GHz and back down every few moments. (Voltage drops too, just don't memorize numbers)

Sorry, I got stuffed in a similar way by Gigabyte with an AM2+ board, every problem they find new revision and no will to help people with older revisions.

(Just had to vent, personally will never buy products from them again.)

I had a few good Gigabytes but now that I'm building my own PC's (my dad used to build mine before, I'm 18 and finally have a debit xD) I noticed Gigabytes quality has gone done but I'm surprised!!! I've been searching for answer literally for a month before I got the board hooked up cause I knew the problem after ordering it and I just got it stable at 3.6GHz yet the entire month I looked no one seemed to have an answer. Sadly I had to turn off the turbo though to gain that. I know nothing about voltage but I kinda guessed based on the defaults of my fx-6300 and went up a little. Now I guess when my hyper 212 evo comes and I begin to slowly overclock, we'll see if the board holds this stability. Cause 99/100 people who post about it are having the issue I was with no success xD sorry just had to tell someone I'm all excited.

Same MoBo and bulldozer CPU? I can screenshot my best bios configuration. right now the highest I've gotten is 3.8GHz... Everytime I bring the multiplier up I can't get past 3.8 without errors or blue screens... 4.2GHz worked but then it froze twice after 10 minutes. but my 3.8GHz is steady

Google for a utility (freeware) called AMDMSRTweaker. It's a bit geeky but once you get it going you can disable APM without BIOS support. Works great.

If you're really up to it you can even tweak P-State FID's and VID's.

I didn't do anything about RPM but manually entering almost every setting I managed to get a stable 4.5GHz, did 6 hour test with prime95 and it never went over 61.C Which I find awesome cause that was 4 hours in. (I set autotune to warn me iff it goes above 60 and it woke up so i checked it, brought it to warn at 62 and when I work up it passed every test and was sitting at 45 before I ended the test)
