Thanks mate, I'll give v17 a whirl later on.
Unfortunately you've discovered the one thing this board (and all abit boards AFAIK) cannot do. They all set the lowest selectable Vcore as your chip's VID. I guess they figure their market is more for overclockers, who mostly don't know the meaning of low Vcore.
Ack that's unfortunate. I'm running a HTPC myself so I was hoping to undervolt since I don't overclock to reduce power and heat. I guess I can just use Speedstep which lowers the Vcore as a way to get around it.
TBH, this sounds like a PSU issue. I've seen it before but with Antecs that are about to bite it and/or were incompatible with the board's circuitry. This isn't to say it's necessarily your problem, it's just where I've seen that symptom pop up in the past.
Hope not! Just got this PSU from an RMA about 2 weeks ago
