i think that my CPU can do 5GHZ solid a 1.36V ( due to LOAD in LLC on standard ) but why the MB cannot boot if LLC is set on LVL 1 ?
i don't understand
Have you re tested 1.36v, my 2600 ran 1.33 bios on its first run then needed 1.35 for its second & so on. The chips burn in especially after weeks of LinX at crazy clocks pounding the nutz off them not to mention the damage SP1 & AVX do!!!

If you are sure your chip can still do 5GHz 1.36 than ye you are seeing something similar to me. I can no longer run std @ 5GHz it needs over 1.55v bios so I gave up. I can start high from bios & ET the voltage down but this has little or no effect at 5GHz or 5.1 it only works for me at 5.2. I'm no bios engineer so shouldn't diss those in such a position but the v drop & droop on this board combined with the level 1 overshoot & failure of level 2 are quite poor imo & unlike anything I have ever seen before.

That said you got to remember this is a new platform & we are running 5GHz here that's flippin awesome. The only reason I am bent about the UD5 voltages is coz I want to go faster & I know the UD5 can do it.....
