Hey Saaya,

Nice to see someone finally taking notice!

Seems to me the issue is pretty widespread, plenty of ppl over at the EVGA forums are complaining about freezes/hangs/lock-ups during video playback and during some other tasks aswell. I have multitudes of terabytes of HD content so the issue was apparent to me almost at once and I found that just sitting idle in the CRYSIS game menu's would cause the same hang-ups(during one of these hangs my CRYSIS installation was !!C-O-R-R-U-P-T-E-D!! but the rest of my OS was left intact!) I began investigating the issue very carefully and I found through trial and error (ie: infinite looping x264 + stop watch) that I could control and duplicate the system hangs and data CORRUPTION by manually adjusting the FSB + GTLREF Voltages alone.

I did my adjustments from the BIOS since this is my personal computer and I have it installed in a case nestled into my desk etc.. I do work in a small boutique and I'm resposible for system design and overclocking(all of our rigs are OC'd) but in the same breathe I've got this 790iU for myself and so that I can get to know it very intimately for all future commercial builds we will do based on it...
