Threadripper + Hyper-V + SVM + changed CPU clock ratio won't boot into Windows

I already posted this in AMDs forum (https://community.amd.com/message/2862641), Overclocked.net (http://www.overclock.net/forum/10-a...-club-1950x-1920x-1900x-354.html#post27443473)
and Microsoft Technet (Threadripper + Hyper-V + SVM + changed CPU clock ratio won't boot into Windows)

As my title says, if I change the CPU clock ratio inside the BIOS and SVM + Hyper-V are enabled my Threadripper 1950x system won't boot into windows, instead it get's stuck while doing so (maybe USB initialisation
problems).

If I disable SVM or change the CPU clock ratio to Auto or 34 it works.

Inside Windows, the Ryzen Master software 1.3 doen't work with Hyper-V but version 1.2 does.

See here: https://community.amd.com/message/2862641

After booting into Windows with Auto CPU clock ratio + SVM + Hyper-V I am able to change the CPU clock ratio inside the Ryzen Master Software 1.2 and it works just fine.

Is this a bug, a feature, or just a problem I have?

I am using a Threadripper 1950x on a Gigabyte x399 Gaming 7 with 4x 8GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB for AMD Threadripper at 3200CL14.

Intel 5GHz Core i7-8086K anniversary processor listed by retailers

Last month, a rumor emerged that Intel was preparing a special anniversary edition Core i7-8086K processor – to mark the 40th birthday of the release of the first 8086 chip on June 8, 1978 – and now multiple retailer listings for the CPU are being spotted.

As Videocardz reports, the niftily-named Core i7-8086K has been listed by Italian, Canadian and US retailers amongst others, and according to these product listings, the price is set to be about €480 or $480 (around £360, AU$640). That’s about $70 (around £50, AU$95) more than Intel’s Core i7-8700K.

Of course, we have to take that pricing with a shovelful of salt, and indeed the existence of this Core i7-8086K is still unconfirmed, of course. At least one of the aforementioned product listings is still live, although the Italian retailer in question has already taken its web page down.
