current consumption I measure as Intel says, by vDrop under load. I mean really, It's not like were talking about really complicated circuits here...um...do you own a digital multimeter? Do you have a device like a killawatt?

As I explained earlier, I understand the trigger only, not the exact component on the board causing the issue, other than EPU implementation, and hence the posting about it...

I mean really, like I said, I bought a new cpu, and don't havethe issue with this one, so I'm not here posting for my own benefit, merely for those that aren't able to buy a new cpu, and are stuck with this bug...

I don't understand your aggression towards me on this when I'm simply trying to help. Had you attitude been the same, rather than just denying the issue in the first place, we'd not be having this discussion now...

So, you've stated now that you CAN recreate the issue. At what settings are you doing this?

I don't think you understand that should this require some hard mods, that's something I'll end up trying...understanding and overcoming issues such as this is part of overclocking, and something I enjoy. I spend more money than some make in a month on this I like it so much. Screw drinking, or doing drugs, modding a car, or whatever else people do for fun...I'll take a soldering iron and circuit boards, thanks!
