For now please be aware the board overvolts the memory quite a lot, setting 1.8v in bios actually sets 1.93v on the board.

for your enjoyment i have mapped out what i regard the true working range.

on the left the bios value....on the right the actual value measured with a DMM.

Code:
1.37=1.49
1.38=1.50
1.39=1.51 
1.40=1.53
1.41=1.54
1.42=1.55 
1.43=1.56
1.44=1.575
1.45=1.58
1.46=1.59
1.47=1.60
1.48=1.62
1.49=1.63
1.50=1.64
1.51=1.645
1.52=1.65   
1.53=1.66
1.54=1.67
1.55=1.69
1.56=1.70                           
1.57=1.71
1.58=1.72
1.59=1.73
1.61=1.75
1.62=1.76
1.63=1.77
1.64=1.78

1.85=1.97
1.87=1.99
1.90=2.01
1.93=2.03
1.96=2.06
2.0=2.08
2.03=2.12
2.07=2.15
2.12=2.19
2.16=2.23
2.16=2.28
2.26=2.32



I will suggest to DFI this is all we actually need, most DDR2 is topping out on the 790FX M2R around 2.1 to 2.2V max, so allowing to 2.3 is more than enough.
I was going to actually bring this up to you Tony and have you whisper in the little birdies ear about it

Could you also please let them know that the 4/16/08 Beta Runs "Hot" and have a feeling that allot more then just vdimm is being over volted and not reading correctly in Genie Bios Page at the Bottom and also Power Management where temps and Voltage is displayed as well. I will be Flashing back to 4/15/2008 for that Reason Primarily the system is just cooking and I have stuff under volted as usual
