I'm just curious, but what were you using to measure the vcore during bootup; a DMM? If so, where on the board can it be measured?

Maybe i'll look at mine when i get my board back, if i knew where to probe. Also, did you set the cpu startup voltage to anything besides the default auto setting? I never played much with mine, but then again, i usually leave my PC on unless i am tweaking bios settings, ect.
