    Hi,new kid on the block here. I have an r3 with an XM CPU.When I run Vantage if I don't go over 40x4, the first CPU test is pretty stable.My other settings are 99,56,short turbo disabled,0 flex,0 pripla.If I raise the multipliers to 42 or 44 or 45,the OPS in Vantage is all over the place,from 4500 down to 2000 and I wind up with a crappy CPU score.Anyone got any suggestions?Thanls

    Do you have ThrottleStop installed and turned on? That usually helps.

    Yeah I've heard of Throttlestop.Should I download it and use the same settings in that which I have in XTU?

    I had the same problem. I had to increase Current to 105A or 110A to support ops above 41x. Increase PrimaryPlane to 840 (105A) or 880 (110A) to implement.
