Decided to retire my Crosshair IV Formula. Would not play nice at even a light OC with a FX-8300. The Formula likely would run with better stability using a Phenom II, but did not feel like going with that, although have a couple of them.
On the shelf had a Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P, just replaced the motherboard. Turned out was forced to use Legacy boot on the 970A even though it supports UEFI. Followed this guide and converted the drive to UEFI. www.maketecheasier.com/convert-legacy-bios-uefi-windows10/This board is so much easier to do a little overclock with, compared to the issues I had with the xh IV Formula.

Sorry for your trouble,the CH 4 came out before AM3+ was in full swing. I have a 990FX Sabertooth R2.0 with latest bios from 2016 with FX 8350 at 5.0 GHz on Scythe Ashura cooler.
