1.) The CPU voltage is fluctuating like hell. It's crazy and I'm fairly disappointed about this. I've never seen such a huge fluctutation on MSI's GD70 or any other mobo (including the cheapest ones!).
CPU Voltage set in BIOS:
1,390625V
LLC:
ON
Prime Blend: jumping between
1,432V and
1,440V
Idle: ~
1,410V
CPU Voltage set in BIOS:
1,390625V
LLC:
OFF
Prime Blend: jumping between
1,300V and
1,312V (it's almost
0,1V drop compared to original value!!!

)
Idle: ~
1,370V
Because of this it's very difficult to find the most efficient 24/7 voltage when you're OCing the CPU. To be honest I was expecting more stable voltages for ~$230.
(I've made the measurements on the Probe It points but the mobo reported values are almost the same. At least the voltage sensors are working fine.)
