Ok, you have me curious now, have you tried this board + overclocking with either XP or Vista? I get at most two installs of an os at stock settings as I almost always come up with a 24/7 clock to work with using the first install.

Yep. I can go from my XP hdd to my Windows 7 hdd and it works on the XP but not the Windows 7 one. Same with Vista. I have gotten to know this setup rather well and have posted wquite a few benches with it at the Bot. The problem only showed up with Windows 7.

Here is a screen shot showing High Performance enabled. You can see in SetFSB that I have it set to 200 BCLK and it is showing 4000mhz or should be. Turbo and EIST is enabled which should have the mult to 21 in Windows and should be 4200mhz.

But wait as this is getting more and more weird by the moment. I used SetFSB and clicked it up one notch and it popped the mult back to 21. I then reset it and try to set the vcore back to 1.45v. SetFSB won't snap it out of it this time. When I try to use it it makes the mult drop big time. Here is a screenshot of the mult at 4!!! One time it set it to 2!!! Still going to get a Classified. LOL

Either DFI or Windows 7 is garbage (maybe both), I would stop using windows 7 if it screws with your bios without any shitware like ntune installed. It's a matter of time before the os ruins your board like that!

Just a follow up DFI is taking a look at this issue but are moving slow on it. In the mean time unclewebb has come up with a utility that fixed it. He is the maker of RealTemp. Multiboost fixed the issue for me.

Here is a utility by him called i7 Turbo which displays the correct mult as cpuz, core temp as well as a couple other utilities have had some inconsistency in displaying the correct mult.
