200mv will most certainly affect heat, in fact, going from 1.100mv to 1.300
vcore means a power increase of 39.6%. That's why EIST is so important, it has a tangible real world benefit. The extra heat translates directly into extra fan noise. So while you're browsing the net, doing Email, doing a slide show for friends, etc. you are unnecessarily subjected to irritaing fan noise because ASUS messed up the design.

I was going to RMA my board, but seems everyone is saying that EIST doesn't work at full performance levels. So there would be no point, I'd just get another board with non-working EIST.
