Were you running your signature overclock before this happened? What voltages were being used across the board (VCore, CPU PLL, QPI, DRAM, IOH)?
You've never overvolted PCIE, but how about overclocking? Always set at 100MHz or ever go over?
I can't remember which thread it was but basically a couple months back there was a discussion regarding the EZ Plugs and I believe it was concluded that they should be necessary only if you are running two or more power hungry GPUs e.g. GTX 480s. And even then I believe it was only necessary if the multiple 480s were also being heavily overclocked. So for a couple of 275s, although still power hungry but not as much as 480s of course, you may be better off not using the EZ Plugs. Maybe in your case it may have been more detrimental than beneficial
I hope you get everything sorted out. Starting to feel worried about my setup

A few weeks back you mentioned there would be an updated version of CPU-Z which supports ROG boards and displays their core voltage. Any news or updates on this? Is it possible for you to share the revised 1.56 version you have which does show core voltage?
Also what are your thoughts on the QPI PLL dilemma? Can you help us out in getting the table of values for this setting from Asus? A bios with a QPI PLL setting would be the first actual solid improvement in R3E bios history.

Thank you very much for your informative comparison between the different bioses. With so many versions available and not enough time to test them all it really helps when someone shares such valuable information.
I just made the switch to 0011 from 0901 and it definitely 'feels' a lot better. Also it seems as if temps dropped a couple degrees across the board as well. I don't like having to go with a beta bios over an official one but who cares. Thanks guys for your input much appreciated
