I think, if we look at the VID of these cpu's, alot would be obvious...assuming that Intel is accurate in TDP rating, my cpu consumes 105w @ 1.2375v, 2.4ghz.

So, Amps x Volts= Watts, or Watts/Voltage = Amps. So at stock, my cpu consumes 84a @ 1.2375v.


What's your vid? If it is higher, your cpu will consume less Amps, ergo you would run into the issue @ higher voltage than I do. I bet GAR's VID is higher too...


Now, I tohught it was current form the start...and that has not changed, obviously, however remedying the situation is not something I can do...as these cpu's I have do not exhibit this behavior on other boards. It would seem like I would need an OVP mod for the board before I could overcome this...or to identify the driver/dll responsible for the system process acting this way. I'll be trying to figure this out today...
Unfortunately, I have a Quad 'G0' with the same VID as you here (1.2375v), and I don't get the problem at all. I can load 100% perfectly fine with Prime/Dual Orthos/OCCT/Folding...
