oddness with the MSI Neo2-FR 1.7 bios and EIST. Seems to change cpu voltage settings when enabled. Basically overclocks the voltage so it can underclock it later.
Any other MSI p35 users experiencing this? or any other p35 users for that matter?
see: the msi forums
edit: update- seems from the trouble shooting over at the MSI forums there is a bug of some sort. Enabling EIST increases the voltage for the normal settings. When ESIT kicks in and lowers the multiplier, it lowers the voltage as well (as it is supposed too). However it lowers the voltage back down to where it was if you never enabled EIST in the first place. The result, enabling EIST uses more power then if it was disabled, kinda not the point.
Any other p35 users notice this? I only bring it up because I had thought for a while that many of the vcore settings were too high for allot of these overclocks. Maybe this bug or something similar is the culprit. Also, take this with a grain of salt. The board could be performing just fine it is just the reporting function that is messed up. Some how i do not think so though.
