Not having any luck with activation so far
Trouble-shooter can’t activate and when I click “I recently changed hardware on this device”
I get the message below
Unable to activate Windows

Better still I'll tackle the problem in the morning fresh

Hey guys, something really interesting:
I wanted to create a profile with all overclocks off, and only XMP on(just for a fast basic starting point for when I start playing around in BIOS).
Well in the screenshots, you can see everything is set to <Auto>, except XMP, AVX Instruction(set to 3), and LLC(set to 6)
But when I run Validate in CPU-Z I still get around 5GHz
Of course the speed stays lower when not under load, but I thought it should only boost to 4.7GHz when core freq is set to <auto>, as that is the 8700K's default boost.
Maybe one of you other Maximus X owners, want to give it a try, and validate this finding?

Cpuz caches your runs, watch the speed while it runs it will show the lower speed, but the val will be differentHey guys, something really interesting:
