isnt 3301 the latest?

Have you tried updating to a later bios on your board? I know that past few bios updates have mentioned fixes and enhancements to USB related issues and devices.

Since the memory controller is in the CPU, is it possible you over tightened the new cooler, thus affecting the memory controller on the CPU itself? I would try and seat the cooler again, with very little force and see how you make out. Perhaps even install the older cooler in which all ram...

I have updated from every version, including 1401 which was the bios my board shipped with and I have had no issues. I am on 2303 with great success.

it address some USB issues apparently as well, but unsure what that entails exactly. Improves memory compatibility as well.

yikes, so it was 100% fine for nearly a year then died? I got my board in March of 2011, I hope it holds up as it has been fine for the past 11 months.

How old was your board/cpu before this issue occured r340wildcard?

I know it may not help, but bios 2103 is out for your board now, you could try that to see how it fares.

I'm sorry to hear that. I really hope the SSD firmware is the answer after everything you have already gone through. Has it gotten any better at all so far?

+1 ;)

Best of luck, let us know how it goes!

Hot swap should be enabled, not disabled. I have hot swap enabled for all my drives and similar issues have all but disappeared. Later firmware updates for SSD are to help these issues as well. It is too bad you will have to wipe and start again, but it is in a option. Are you on the latest...

I would update to the latest bios for your board, 2001. I would also look into seeing if there are any firmware updates for your SSD drive. Lastly, do you have hot swap enabled for your drives in the bios?

hmmm, interesting. I have my ratio set to 45x with everything on default. I may try per core and see if it makes any difference. I do get over 1.00v as well, usually 1.016v at idle. As long as stability isn't affected, it could be a quick and easy change in the bios to net a few watts worth...

So there is a big difference if set per core instead of all cores? Is stability affected at all? I currently have my system set to all cores, but am willing to change if there is a benefit, could you kindly explain more about this? I would appreciate it. Thanks.
