Just got of off the phone with EVGA tech support. I know this is a gigabyte thread, i'm the op....but i am experiencing the exact same issue with both boards, so this should be relevant. I dont know why i didnt think of trying this, but they suggested putting the stock cooler on to see if it still happens. They said the aftermarket fan, being too tight, causes the plastic that the cpu sits on in the socket to bow. They said when i re-seat the cpu, that gives the plastic time to cool and straighten out some. The reason it works for a day is because it takes time for the plastic to heat and bow enough to create the problem again. Makes sense. So i guess if this fixes it, then its an issue i should take up with thermalright? I see a new revision in the future....Hopefully. Before i swap coolers, i'll run this TRUE at stock CPU settings, like i'll run with the stock cooler. I guess theres a chance that at stock voltages, it wont heat up enough to make the plastic pliable enough to create the problem.. we'll see!
