im having a fair few problems with this board, has anyone else got this board as im wondering if the chipset is faulty.
CPU = 1090T
Cooler = Corsair H100
Memory = Corsair Vegenance (4x 4GB 1866)
PSU = Thermaltake Toughpower 700w
at first (bios 1.0) the cpu would throttle down at max load, no problem a bios was released (v1.20) which seems to have fixed the throttle, but even at stock the chipset heatsink is red hot (and i do mean hot almost burn your fingers hot). any overclock of anything at or above 3.8ghz will result in a BSOD or hang (not down to voltages tried from 1.4750 to 1.55v) exact same BSOD/Hangs (please note i didnt noticed the chipset HS temp until after trying to overclock as the board was brand new)
i removed the chipset heatsink cleaned and replaced with MX-2 but still chipset getting very hot (cant find a way to read the chipset temp at all) being a 990FX chipset i expected a little more out of it.
CPU Temps Idle 22c Max load 33c (Intel burn Test & Prime) 4ghz load temp before BSOD/Hang 42c
also memory was run at stated 1.5v at 1600,1333 & 1066 and also tested 1 stick at a time
