I uninstalled it and i plan to reinstall windows to sort out an os/dll related issue.
That's quite a lot. It can't be unless something is placing a load on the CPU or some voltage is high. Even if the NB is under load. Have you benchmarked EVEREST to compare L3 cache values at the same speed with bw before this phenomena?
No it has only a voltage option for cpu and nb, no extra vid's. Those stay at 1.25V no matter what vcore is set (have not tried cnq).
Also modified the DefaultConfig.xml file but i might have modified the wrong voltage there. An alternative whould be using an customized profile whom get's loaded at start.
Yes, I was going to write you a customized file to try that's why I asked about voltages and VIDs.

Can AOD change VIDs on your system?
I had planned to pick up the Sapphire as the next RD790 board but when you say it doesn't have VID options, that scares me.

Try this MSR: 0xC0010070

EDX = 0x00000000 (always)
EAX
0x3000400A = 1.150VID
0x3000385A = 1.200VID
0x3000375A = 1.212VID
0x3000350A = 1.225VID
0x3000300A = 1.250VID
0x3000285A = 1.300VID
0x3000275A = 1.312VID
0x3000250A = 1.325VID
0x3000200A = 1.350VID

It should change CPU VID and hence volts (check in AMD PM).
I'm not sure of all the ranges because I've not played with it more but the pattern is obvious. It's very easy to change VID and voltage this way without problems (you can include it in RWE).
