Well critical "kernel-power" issue random reboot issue still persists making me think it has to be the mobo (already ruled out PSU by testing with my old TT 750W PSU and memtest doesn't report any probs when running it over the night so it can't be ram, it could possibly be CPU that's taken a toll by the 1.4v vcore but I'm 70% sure it's a mobo issue) with all the foxconn socket failures around I wouldn't be suprised if this is the issue for me too but then again at least the pins looked all ok for me and made contact etc.
Would I have known the trouble this would follow I had definitely went i7-920 route instead.
So which mobos aren't using the foxconn socket except for EVGA?
EDIT: BTW, I wonder if some1 with a Gigabyte P55 can mention what the CPU-Z reads for vcore contra what's set as BIOS value, I think I may have a similiar problem as http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...d,2436-15.html For me there's quite a difference between what's set in BIOS and what cpu-z reads and becomes bigger the higher I go, at say 1.44 - 1.45v bios set, it reads 1.408v in CPU-Z at idle but only 1.36v during load at "standard" LCC setting? That can't be right? The random reboots when playing happens also at stock settings now but I think it may happen more rarely.
But then I don't know why I'm able to run for example LinX or OCCT without getting any reboots, only when playing games.
Any1?
EDIT: OMG this drives me crazy with all the restarts for no reason, prolly gonna dump p55 and buy a proper i7 setup, ie X58.
