Is the mobo new or used one? I have used old mobos and never had such a problem. Like the last poster said check your oc settings again. It's likely that they're not working or not setup.
Thanks. I've not actually OC'd anything, as I'm not that good on cooling part. With the current setup itself, the temps run into 73-74 deg C, as 'm in a hot tropical country.
Btw, I did figure out the issue. While installing the new drivers for the mobo, I also updated the GPU adrenalin driver. That was the culprit. I DDU'd the drivers, and re-installed the previous working version, and walla! I'm back to 25.1 MH/s on the rig.
