After all, cold boot is indicative of a power problem of some sort, and having to provide a lot of power to make OC stable and/or not being able to stabilize it at all could also be indicative of a power problem.
honestly man... i think my coldboot issue is more of a warm up thing.

kinda like how a car sometimes needs to be warmed up in the winter.

mine simply wont run until i have let it sit on for a few mins to warm up. sounds odd but i did some experimenting and if i attempt to boot and it does nothing i leave it for about 3-5mins then hit reset and it boots up fine no problems. if i mess around and try to force it to post then i end up loosing my bios settings and it still takes a few mins to get it to post anyways.
