Back to discussing the actual board ...
I tried loading up the 5.0 beta 2 bios which is the one for the Diamond version I believe. The voltage options are a little different with that Bios. The memory now goes up to 3.1V instead of 2.85 and the VCore voltage only goes up to 1.45V instead of 1.55 but the percentage over VID increased from 3.3, 5, and 8.3% to 6, 12, 18% maybe (don't remember right off the top of my head). Well, it still didn't help my voltage problem during POST. Plus, if you have to reset the Bios using the CMOS reset, you will have some NVRaid IDE detect during boot that kept locked up my computer when I booted. I had to reflash to the actual Platinum Bios and then CMOS reset that one to get it working again.
I'm getting fed up with the voltage issues with this board. I don't think it is too much to ask to set the VCore to 1.5V and have the board boot properly. I might RMA this week and try the DFI.
