Asus sure crippled this board with its EPU, even with no drivers installed i had huge problems with voltage fluctuating.....really high, double of its set voltage, ddr ref would go to 3v!!!!!! a long period of this cannot be too good for the board, fsb v would go up to 2V as well............asus should remove EPU, or someone should figure a way to short it out....and this board could really shine.

Holy crap are you serious? you sure these aren't glitches in how it reports back the info? I'm tempted to avoid putting my new machine together until this is sorted out. I don't want my RAM and everything else f!"£ing up.

Surely something as big as 3v spikes or double voltage would have been detected through testing the board before release?
Do you notice these fluctuation directly with Hardware Monitor? or is this with ASUS Probe/Everest etc, maybe it could be a deviation from the real results due to inaccurate readings. Does the board behave like this under stock settings?

If the EPU is so potentially dangerous, I'm at a loss as to why they didn't program in an EPU Bypass jumper, or switch/BIOS function.
You should log all your findings and report them to ASUS if you believe your results to be entirely genuine.
