Has anyone noticed if their boards are overvolting their ram higher than they are setting them to in the bios. I set the voltage in the bios to 1.9v and in pc probe it was 2.2volts. Then I set it to 1.84. And when I checked Pc Probe again it said 1.94v.
When I got this board it had bios 0401,then I flashed it to 0505 not sure if it is just a bios issue.
Any feedback would really help.
Thanks

Thats right, the maximus overvolt 0.1v on the memory and pll voltage.
cpu voltage undervolts a lot, too much i.m.h.o

Does the same for me with the overvolting ram and the vcore droop is about .1v for me. I feel that is too much. Have you guys read about the vdroop pencil mod? It looks extremely easy, I will be doing it tomorrow and let you know how it works out.

No need for pencil mod. Just enable "Loadline Calibration" in bios, and you will have rock stable vdroop

Thanks for the feedback guys!
Does anyone know if this also happened with the 0401 Bios as well?
