Any idea what the "fix VRM10 CPU problems" means?Originally Posted by In-Fluence
I am having troubles with my board. I am experience intermittent issues where if the power goes out or the PSU is turned off, the lan ports will stop working and it's a hassle to get them to work again (I have to clear the bios and power down for a few minutes) It's not the CMOS battery being dead or anything as my settings are not getting erased.
This guy has the same issue as I do:

Also, does your guys' energy saver look like this? I don't have any voltage level adjustments.
The 6 power phase "pistons" are always on and none of them ever switch off.
Finally, I have an issue where my board stopped reducing voltage when it downclocks the CPU with C1E/EIST/Speedstep. I am sure all those options are on the bios. When I first purchased this board, it would drop my core voltage quite a bit (I can't remember exactly what it was). IE: something like 1.344v to 1.02v, etc. whenever it downclocked the core clock of my OC from 3.4GHz to 2.268GHz (9x378 vs. 6x378).
Now I find that it nolonger does this. The voltage is always @ 1.344v and never drops, consequently, even if C1E/EIST/Speedste reduces my clocks, I get no voltage reduction and hotter temps overall!
I have tried clearing the bios, all the bios versions (except the Bios FEa beta quoted), and everything I can think of. I don't know what could be causing this. The core clock definetely drops as the multiplier goes to 6x but it will not reduce voltage anymore when it used to. I monitor clocks and voltage through CPU-Z. I have also tried "Minimal Power Management" and "Portable/Laptop" in power schemes to see if they do anything but they don't.
I was hoping the energy saver would do something else on the side to drop voltage but as you can see, it's always on max as well.
