last night I swtich on the C1E, it function perfectly to lower the multi to 6 when idle and jump to 9 when I prime small fft for 2 hrs. Well I've never come across your shut down problem against the thermal management, I only found the multi down to 6 when without fan blow to the mosfets in the ealier bios. It seems so strange that your mosfets should not be overheat with wc. should you try enable C1E instead of enable the thermal management if wanna enbling the stepspeed?

If I disable Thermal Management in BIOS, then the board will shut down within 5 seconds of running Small FFT's. If I run large FFT's... no problems.

DenDen is this what you noticed in earlier BIOS versions?

BTW, I'm water cooling my mosfets!
