Setting everything to AUTO/XMP (either 4.20 or 4.60) boost some insane voltages and the system (in the fortunate case it boots) hangs up just the moment when I fire up Prime95. I get 1.48v CPU voltage and the memory jumps at 1.65v (even if I use Corsair Vengeance 1.5v modules).
With 1485 I'm stuck with my 2600k at stock speed - compared to 1204, which worked at 4.6@ 1.36v

I am sorry, I didn't mean in any way to offend you, but I simply don't understand why it sets so high voltages for auto and doesn't use the XMP info on the memory to set it right.
I might have got a very bad chip or the high voltages that got set by the auto settings degraded it, but now I can't even pass 4.2Ghz @ 1.45v with either 1204 or 1485
I also know this is this is a forum for extreme overclockers, but for a normal that got the best board out there hoping it will auto overclock it to it's maximum potential without any trouble, it kinda didn't work out as expected...
Once again, don't get me wrong, I don't even know if you're the right person to be told these thing, but a bit more attention on the auto settings would have made a lot of people very happy, as the board doesn't come with an overclocking manual.

Hi Shamino!
Again my question!
What could it be, that my voltages are raising up itself?
I fixed all voltages, but while gaming, every voltage, like VCCIO, VCSSA, VDIMM and so on are increasing without any changes made by myself!
I'm running my hypers 24/7 with 2133 8-8-8-24 1T @ 1,6375V and after a while it is at 1,75!!!
I had the same issue with my old MIVE (B2)! Now, the B3 has the same! Please help me...

no i mean , it doesn't get to 52x multi never , it even doesn't give me the blue screen just the loading screen freeze and the PC doesn't restart i have to turn it off then turn it on again and for your information i tried the same cpu in another board it did the same thing but the board was ASUS P8P67 . The same problem in the two boards
could be abad cpu or bios problem
and thanks shammy for your answer
and sorry about inconvenience about goes up

so your chip wont go over x52 in 2 boards, this means your chip will not go over x52. Alot of them wont!
