Welshman, what CPU block are you using? It could be the backplate shorting.

That's a great point. He has an X shaped GTZ backplate, probably.Originally Posted by Alexandr0s
Looking at the pic of the backside of the board, found here:

I don't actually know what that is in the top left corner of the socket area, but it looks like it might contact the backplate.

Got the same problem with my R2E board a few days ago.
First I just loosened the MB waterblock screws one by one till I isolate the problem area.
Then I added an additional layer of thermal tape on the contact point on the area to give it that tiny extra space (fraction of a mm - those Bitspower thermal tape sure are thin :P)
Can't avoid a remount though.
One thing that I wanna ask though.
Anyone ever gotten their hardware damaged because of this particular problem?
I know the MB cuts off when it detects the problem and all, but I'd imagine there's that bit of time before that safety switch comes off.
