I'm having some weird issues with the latest BIOS and the 9650 CPU...my 8400 worked flawlessly at 4.2ghz but even at stock settings, my 9650 is having issues with this board...once, out of the blue, the temps shot up to 75c and the PC shut down to prevent damage...and now if I don't leave the CPU settings on AUTO, I can't boot into Windows...I suspected the CPU being defective, but when I put it into my DFI P35 UT board, it works great and overclocks to 4ghz, no problem.

I'm pissed now...hopefully this is some strange BIOS issue and gets resolved soon...I was planning on using this board with a phase set-up later on too.
