ASUS Maximus II Formula - new P45 king?

[humeyboy]

No my VID is 1.2125v which seems weird as it can do 4GHZ on far less than the VID claims to need for stock with and its BS anyhow cause the CPU is 1.2v stock not 1.2125v.

Its the 1st time ever I have had a CPU inc CO Wolfdales that has a VID higher than the stock Voltages but its claimed lower VID's run hotter.

I remember the VID used to change as you OC on my previous CO Wolfdales, this stays static in Coretemp and in RealTemp there is a VID range and its MIN 1.087v to MAX 1.2125v.

I'm having major issues with this Mobo it seems temperamental or flaky and 1 Core drops out at 4.5GHZ (always same Core) but both are stable at about 1.325v and can run on their own overnight (8hours), if I set Affinity to run 1 Core at a time, no amount of voltage gets both to run any length of time (like 15min is MAX)

I am messing with my old memory and its seems to run better (ran 2 hours before I stopped it) but still can act up, weird its only in Small FFT's and I think the Mobo is to blame going by other weird power related issues.

I will need sit down and type out my issues and try get some help later on tonight.
