Hey bro, same issue with my 970 too. Just disable the CPU Smart Protection under the OC tab in the BIOS and you're good to go.

As per my case, my CPU temp went higher than usual and I have to bump the CPU fan speed to compensate. Also, if you happened to use Corsair H60 like me, plug the pump to case_fan header instead of cpu_fan header

I hate my MSI 970 Gaming.
