It causes a few weird situations as you might imagine so having LLC enabled and setting CPU VID and CPU/NB Vid manually is the preferred solution. In regards to CPUZ and other utilities we are working with the authors to ensure each core is recognized properly in regards to voltages and multipliers. We are still working with AMD on some additional tuning and power management features as the latest AGESA code has some additional changes in it.

Hopefully I will be able to start an official thread on this board shortly and will be able to list this stuff and provide official support. We should have another BIOS release shortly and Auto settings will tighten up the voltages applied in these type of situations. At this point the voltages might seem a little high but it is to ensure stability on Core 1.
That's great news Bingo13!
I'm looking forward to your thread on this forum as well as new BIOS release.

It took me only few hours to work out how the board behaves regarding voltages and multis. and since then I'm pretty much on top of my setup.
Really good board and great BIOS for tweaking.

One question though.
I'm hearing crack every time singular sound is played and then after few minutes of silence I hear another quieter crack in my speakers (discharging capacitors). It sounds like you would plug in jack in the connector every time sound is played. After the crack sound is fine and as long as music is played it's ok till you stop it and try to play again after few minutes.
Is it just my motherboard or every one is having this issue?
BTW it's not my speaker set from Creative because I've used it with 3-4 onboard sound cards as well as SB Live! and it was perfectly fine.

Thanks for any hints
