I just bought a Asus M5A78L-M LX3 with a FX-6300 and I found out I am facing the same nightmare with my previous board. In that scenario I got voltage and multiplier drops to 800MHz with ridiculously low temperatures. At the end, I was able to avoid the drops setting CPU HTC to enabled, in the BIOS. (All other power saving features, such a C&Q or C1 were already disabled).
Now, in this new particular board, I am getting the same problem, but the difference is that I have even lower temperatures, the FX-6300 uses even lower voltage than my older chip and I get the drops both overclock and stock configs.
After hours of research I have found that the issue could be the function called AMD APM. In my board BIOS (Which is updated to the last version) there is a zone about APM but there are 3 options that are disabled and doesn't seem to have anything to do with the issue.
Seriously, the load tests are very ridiculous. The drops are not related to temperature in any way. Just look at this, at stock values:
The scenario is even more ridiculous when the chip is overclocked to 4,3 GHz, leading to drops under 2GHz with 30-40º...
If anyone can point any tip, I would appreciate it like pure gold. If I am unable to fix this annoying AMD problem I will be forced to buy more hardware again...
(Full report of my PC: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/VVgZRy4lwBk7LYFSOsRz8bL)
(My PSU is an AeroCool VP 750W, if anyone wonders).
Thanks in advance!
