The craziest "issue" is:

A crazy high voltage drop during BOOT.
Let me explain:
You set the desired CPU Voltage ( Vcore ) in BIOS and boot at any FSB under 501MHz.
The voltage stays relatively stable during the boot process, etc.
I've got around 0.005V fluctuations ( for example 1.900V to 1.905V ).

The crazyness appears as soon as I pass the 500MHz FSB mark in BIOS.
For example when booting at 525MHz with the same settings as the previous "test" at 500MHz I get a crazy drop at a specific time, the very last moment before the welcome screen appears, the time just after the loading bars stop and the screen is about to go instantly blank and back on.
At that specific point, the voltage drops from 1.902V to 1.3xxx / 1.4xxxV depending on its... mood

Anybody else having this issue ?

p.s. Tried BIOSes 0115, 0250, 0504, 0506, 0601.
Hi, I do not try such Vcores so I can't help on this, but I meet issues too, on my side. More like this(and this is not the most inconvenient one): note the difference between logs for the ram frequency readings...
But on another kind of boot it doesn't happen at all:

I'm sorry not being able to help you and comming with some other issue here, but let it be known, this mobo is totally weird !! in some ways as weird as awsome!
Hoping both of our issues will come to a happy end.

PS: about yours, maybe the OV_CPU technic isn't mature yet ?? I wish you to get the clue of this Maybe ask pmp forumer directly or OPB on OCXtrem forum ??
