Everyone says the board overvolts. Has anyone checked this with a meter? If not does someone have a diagram of the leads and I could check them.

I've not read through the P5E thread, but are they getting the issues with Full Load and not loading 100%? Seeing as it's 995 the same board, I thought I'd question it?
EPU mod that was mentioned earlier?
So what does everyone think of 0701/0702?
I am still gonna stick with 0505 till they get some more things down.
Moe than likely the same here, or even just go back to my Striker, at least it didn't have these funky issues...
I might try it over the next few days, but there is no guide as to how much to draw on it, what resistance we need to drop it down too... And I've killed about £600 worth of hardware before with a dodgy pencil mod (old ATi GFX card mod... went POOOOFF, took board/ram/psu with it...)
1.6v vCore, and everything else one notch into yellow I think? I'll check... Ram @ 400MHz divider 1:1 with FSB... 4-4-4-12, 2.2v... Static control thingy and the other ones all auto...
At 1.6v vCore I get the load issue, but with 1.55v (stable but not 24.7) i don't get it...
I'd care, yes. Look at the home forum of OCCT on hardware.fr (french only). I participated in the beta program. I was one of those who sputted on OCCT and its 30mn test. Now, in RAM mode, OCCT is for me the way to go.
OCCT new beta was completely redesigned for quad cores compatibility. My setup (in my sig) is stable Prime95 small/large/blend at 9x400 MHz. It never passed OCCT last beta in RAM mode above 390MHz. OCCT will stress the CPU less than Prime95, but the way calculations are made, stresses the CPU-NB-MB pathway a lot.
OCCT is not only a 30mn test. Most people banned it because of that 30mn message saying you're stable. Now, in new final release, it will be shown as: "no errors detected". The 30mn test is meant for a quick stability check only and can't be compared to a Prime95 12h run. You need to run a custom longer test, like with prime95, many hours to be safe
I won't go in a always hostile debate Prime95 or OCCT, but if you're OCCT unstable, than you're unstable. To rule it out, run OCCT in stock settings and you get your answer. You can ignore it, but you know, once in a while: you'll hang up...
I also agree saying memtest isn't a stress testing really, it only checks physical damage on memory modules. For unstable OC, it needs a really unstable one to fail

If OCCT would tell you what test it was running when it crashed, then it may be of use, but until it does, when it crashes, how do you know what to change? This is my only complaint about the program.
As I posted, I have run it, it IS part of my stability testing, but so is every other "Stress Test" Proggie with error-checking. It's not that it isn't useful...but it's not AS useful as Prime95 for me.
BTW, if you want to relate my comments to the OCCT writers, I'd much appreciate it.
"ASUS EPU intelligently switches between 4 and 8-phase modes, improving voltage regulator module (VRM) efficiency"
Snippet from Asus about EPU. Does anyone think our problems could be due to the switching modes on the fly?
what issues? max fsb no i dont think its related.

lol i stated this a long time ago. It's induced by the current draw of the cpu...draw goes up, 8-phase mode should kick in, due to EPU driver, but it isn't working, and we must await new driver or a bios that disables this functionality before the quadcore-load issue is fixed.
This is also why I mentiioned pencilmod may work, however it truly depends which is default mode...8-phase or 4-phase...and I can tell you based on behavior that it's not 8....but if it was, then i think we'd not have these issues, with droop-mod in place.
One good thing about it tho is that I won't be killing any more ASUS boards with quads....new P5K-pro(p35) has EPU as well...so may be a "new" standard feature from now on.
