I wouldn't be surprised it being removed. It caused file corruption and lots of CTD's on my OC'd system after I upgraded to it. Never in my 15yrs of overclocking had I experience this sort of behavior. I even rebuilt the OS from scratch twice because of it.
I went back to 1503 and no problems now.
I have been OC'ing my computers about the same time. This specific MOBO has caused me nothing but pain.
I bought one of those Thermaltake Tower 900 cases, G.Skill DDR4 64gb 4000, best CPU at the time, EK Block dual closed loops and an Aquaero 6 XT controller. To say I have done this a few times is an understatement. I have tested components under load to check the rail voltage with a nice multi-meter and have torn apart the system and moved it to my sons x299 machine to see if he would experience the problems.
Last night I put in a thermaltake 1600 PSU I have used for a long time from another machine and did a memtest64 pro test from a boot usb. It made it 3.5 passes and had a hung screen. The night before I did the same thing with memory from my sons machine and had the same behavior. I have monitors on the rails, so I know it is not a voltage issue. I know the next step is to RMA the damn board, but it will be such a complete PITA dismantling the water loops I may just buy a new damn board.
None of my normal tests caught any of the expected "problems" as they have the last fifteen to twenty years of OC'ing.
I have disabled all of the C-State power settings and went with a baseline /w no OC and the machine still hangs /wo a message on ram test, memtext64 and google stress test. It has to be the MOBO at this point since the components all work in my sons computer. I am leaning towards a voltage regulator or something on the MOBO.
This MOBO has been the worst I have ran across getting stable since I started OC'ing. I have a newer CPU, so I can't rollback the BIOS for CPU support. My son is getting less than happy with testing my parts out, so I may have hit the point where I just tear everything down and RMA the board and RAM.
