I have in Windows High Power Mode for testing Cinebench, CPU-Z and AIDA64.
But yes, if is set default Normal Mode clocks go down to 800Mhz.
I'd rather add it to the post so it doesn't confuse anyone.

Lol :D You're testing me. ;) I would like to. But I can't. I have already disassembled all the components and already packed the processor this afternoon so that I can send it back to you next week.
But I can confirm that you received a piece from Kizune that work fine.
And because not work in your ASUS W790 and in my GIGABYTE C741 yes, so it is somehow blocked on 100% via ASUS W790.
So it looks like that with ASUS W790 work only D0 and retail W pieces.

BTW after 2 months the postal service recovered and returned the original envelope I sent to Germany so if you want your own specimen of the sample now I have it back and can send it to you. Just ping me in DM if you want it.
