New cruncher on the way
skildude:
amd throttles the CPU and has turbo when its working hard. To stop the throttling just go into the Catalyst control center. Under performance click the CPU POWER. Then simply slide the lowest setting to the far right. This forces the CPU to stay at its max speed

Yeah, I don't have Catalyst. According to AMD, there is no 900-series chipset. The drivers that are on the ASRock website (and on the CD) are labeled as "AMD all in 1 driver ver: 8.70a_WHQL", and there are many references to 8xx in the filenames and folder structures within. I'm thinking the 900-series is 800-based with a few new features or something, but isn't different enough to need different drivers? I don't know.
By the way, disabling spread spectrum in UEFI setup did not force it into full speed. I did also disable turbo, because as I read for how it operates, it will turn two or three cores completely off to turbo the remaining ones.

My Biostar TA 990 has a v8.71. For giggles I checked the 890 mobo from biostar and its chipset was v8.70

Regarding CPU throttling disable “CPU Thermal Throttle” in UEFI.
Please disable Cool’n’Quiet.
Please try different settings for “CPU Load-Line Calibration” and “AMD Turbo Core Technology” in UEFI.
Settings in CCC doesn´t prevent CPU throttling.

It sure doesn't I hadn't noticed it because I was running Seti full time so I never dropped down
