No, I wasnt able at first. I just ran the system at stock speeds with high vcore at first, and noticed I suddenly got into windows but the board was running really HOT so I cooled it down with 2 80mm fans. Since then I tried some overclocking and 2.0V and guess what? The damn board runs stable as hell at 2.0V without shutdowns or anything. Systems been on for over 20 hours and I've ran both prime and TOAST without a single reboot or shutdown. This is really strange since I wasnt able to do over 1.9V in the beginning.

ok now things are getting really wierd around here.... i flashed new bios... blah blah... mess around so then i say.. lets try to see if i can do 2vcore now... well i go do it at 1.85 first which should turn off after a few mins... and nothing... then i say wow.. try 2vcore.. then after 9 mins no shutdown which would usually happen instantly! maybe it took the newbios to somehow stop using the current regulator thing... prime fails though edit: dont mind POS image quailty.. i made it like that to keep filesize down... dont have PS7 installed

Dont know really... I'm using the BETA Bios 3115 and everything is stable at 2.0V. http://213.114.243.134/prime.jpg

DH, That rocks bud! :beer: Very cool! I'm glad to see you're making progress. Hard to say if the 3115 BIOS had any part of this. My first guess is to say no, but then again, something just changed for you. I was already running 3115 before the mod and it didn't seem to change anything for me. Maybe it does adjust some other shutdown circuit besides the one on pin16. Maybe some boards need more than one change to run over 1.9v. (???) Whatever the fix was, I glad it's fixed! Good job sticking with it! ![]()

I just tried 2.1v for the fun of it and my board won't even POST at that volatge. Tried underclocking the 2400+ to 1900Mhz and still no POST. Clearly, my board is not "fixed" even though it doesn't shutdown over 1.9v any more. My top voltage is somewhere between 2v-2.1v. If I bought this board with the intention of water cooling, I'd have to say I'd be pissed. I'm confused as to how this board was ever rated for 2.2v. ![]()

hopefully your 3rd board wont be like this... but im gonna try and RMA this... even though photon's mod can help.. it still wont help it reach the advertised 2.2v... what a load of crap thx though photon for your help

Fixing the shutdowns was actually my main concern on this board and I'll be keeping my board because it suits my needs. If I was water cooling though and needed better than 2v, I would not be keeping the board. It ain't cuttin' it for that. You guys should each do some testing on your own board. There seems to be a lot of variance on these boards. It looks like some of you guys CAN run at 2.1v and more. The bottom line is that if the board fails to meet your needs, try an RMA. If you still have trouble on another new board, then you may want to look at alternatives to the 8RDA.
