It seems reasonable now. I took a multimeter to measure a few spots... and didn't find much. Maybe I'll disassemble the whole thing by Monday, remount some coolers, and try some other points to see where we can measure the exact voltages. Seriously... *beep* to ASUS for making a weird layout for this board. It's not like anyboard I have ever seen. Not that I want to complain... but it makes measuring a bit hard with the board inside the case.


P.S. 2: I won't be able to do anything if the board overvolts, by the way. Every single voltage value is set to their lowest possible, and I can't go lower without modifying something... well, let's see what happens.
No I mean it it overvolts bad, you should bump the settings "voltages" one step up otherwise you are pumping like 1.58v through the nb for example. Yes it does it that bad. The more I think about it maybe my was overvolting my nb to 1.58v or something and that was ing it up..... Anyway I just noticed you were at the lowest voltages and I remembered that it is bad on this board "real bad". Thanks again I just woke up and I am going to do some swapping of stuff here and see what I get.
