tried the nehalem chip and still getting issues.

gonna swap the board out at the weekend.

my hex core chip is not released yet so i was thinking it could require a bios update, but my 920 does the same thing.
ran memtest to eliminate my memory from the problem, this would have been a major problem as OCZ dont make tri channel blade anymore.

all fingers are pointing at the board.
ordered a few meters of tubing so i can redo my waterloop seeing as i have to pretty much rip my whole system apart to remove the board
