Asrock 970 Extreme4 strange throttling

[Kenny_Killer666]

Firstly, I'm sorry for my english, I'm Spanish

This board have got throttling, and this throttling is very strange. I have got two examples:

I Start windows and run IntelBurnTest in stress level maxium 10 times 1.2 hours and nothing happens, no sign of throttling

I Start Windows and whait 25 minutes, I Start IntelBurnTest in stress level maxium: extreme throttling all the time

Haven't got throttling in the CPU whit stress level in Very Hight, No throttling whit stress level in Custom 6144, only throttling when I use the Maxium memory that it have got.

The temps are very good, 26c mainboard 44c CPUInt 32c Package.

I think that the problem is because the bios need a new update

I wait for a answer Thank you!

The ASRock 970 Extreme4 has a 4+1 VRM design, which causes the VRM's to overheat. After that the throttling occours. You could try mounting a fan over the VRM's and see if that stops it, if not, you may have to be looking at a new board like an MSI 970 Gaming, ASUS Crosshair V formula Z, Gigabyte 970 UD3 etc... Motherboards with a sufficient 8+2 VRM design. Hope this helped.
