Hmm, AOD seems to set vcore close to cpu vid during start. As CPU VID is always reported as 1.25V this means the vcore is set to 1.25V. That causes lockups oced here.

Did not touch em. Card i running at 800/700MHz with 31% fanspeed. Changing the fanspeed to 25% does not change the consumption.

NP, so you got your BE finaly, have you had a change to test him. Also waiting for 780G will be an nice office chipset.
