Bloodrage + Turbo mode.

When you enable the PPM option the CPU Voltage settings in the BIOS goes haywire.
What used to give you 1.35V will be giving you something like 1.42V.
Set your CPU Voltage to +50mV for example, save & exit, get into the BIOS again, go to the Hardware Monitoring section and check the CPU Voltage.
You're probably feeding your CPU with 1.45V+

It's not 'haywire' Bill, it's just dependant on a few variables.

Enable PPM and EIST but Disable C1x and the voltage will not fluctuate based on idle/load/cpu multi ala speedstep (Also the same for C1, but not C1E).

However, vcore demand is based on load, threads and cpu multi.

Load will droop slightly, 0.01-0.02v maybe without vdroop enabled, with vdroop it overvolts based on thread demand (Bios set, or application load), i.e 1 core = +0.01v, 2 cores = +0.02 and 4 cores = +0.05v.

Bios set CPU multi also affects vcore, with increasing vcore for each multi, i.e Turbo mode x21 will set more than non-turbo mode x20.

So if you have vdroop enabled, x21 multi and 4 threads enabled, you will be well over whatever you set in BIOS.

I just have the DMM to hand at all times, BIOS HW monitor/CPU-Z is a tiny bit out.

PS. Sasha if you're reading this, get in touch - I have lots of feedback about the board
