just wanted to bump this thread and also post that i was able to ditch my warm boot finally....in my case it was not enough vdimm and vcore - even though everything was stable it just needed that extra bump and now it boots just fine.

also wanted to thank marios re: the cool n quiet tips - really love this setup now! (i wasnt sure how cool n quiet would operate while using memory dividers but it works just fine)

:cheers:
