are you sure its not the voltage sticking from a prev higher oc? sometimes it will do that until you reflash the same bios and re enter your oc

beta's are fine,some have niggles and some don't,ive been as high as 5.1ghz with current beta for my board and its been fine

XhKizits,
^{Not all changes are published. The new version can fix the problems of which you didn't know and added new ones, of which you can never know about.
Should always check the "test version", not stable. Also "Stable" doesn't mean its "stable", some beta may work even better and "stable" than "Stable" version.
But you already know that...}
As I said before: check beta or not - it's your decision. If it's still not fixed in latest beta version - please report.

My GA-Z77X-D3H rev 1.0 and friends rev 1.1 - didn't have that problem and the fan is worked on the correct speed with full speed at full load.
By using voltage control (not pwm) you can obtain lower speed.
That's why i asked you about settings and sensor data.

^{Well, I know how to do the entire system measuring, so I say, you're may wrong. I seen other review and made these measurements. They are dependent on the power supply and what you call "entire system" as well. There no complete information about the system.
No OC: 3570k+d3h+1xSsd+2xRam+monitor with 460w or 750w(80 silver)supply (~ almost your "dad's laptop") usually system run at ~70-80W. Black or white screen on monitor - readings will also be different 10-30w.
Also depend what "meterboard" really measures. Thanks for the info, but I already know that. But it doesn't really matter now.}

Assistance is required informations, not a story. In your case, my advice will not help you. I am very busy now, thats why remove first message.

Thats exactly what am reporting which is not meant to happen, your bios is supposed to play ball not tug of war. I know of later bios releases being abit more stable but let me take some time on that, am still observing this one.

I think your the right person to ask a different question, I won't ask it here but will pm you because I just noticed something on your sig and it has nothing to do with Gigabyte mobos.

With the few that have encouraged me about beta bios, I put my reservations aside and attempted it. First the bios won't boot if you disable the startup logo screen so you have to remove the cmos battery and try again with it enabled. Secondly overclocks just don't stick the moment you reboot, its like oil and water. The cpu then has its maxed out core speed at 3.6Ghz instead of 3.8Ghz stock. That just confirms what I had earlier said, beta bios is a work in progress and can't be used in place of stable releases. For there to be a solution the problem must be identified first. So until there is some acknowledgement of its existence, it will continue to persist.

Guys!

I got my present bios from here thanks to Stasio:- http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte...tml#post274647
Now am able to get very consistent results. It seems the official gigabyte bios site isn't uploading properly fixed bios. Forum tweaktown bios is much better and stable.

I run into some issues pointing at the ram to be defective while priming with bios F17 so I downgraded to F16 set the 4.5Ghz that gave me prime stability in the first place and primed again. I got full prime stability without a single eventviewer error or prime error but failed with a 0x0124 error in less than 10min in bios F17. Tried upping the vcore,vtt,imc but got worse and increased the WHEA logger error in eventviewer with bios F17 but none at all in F16 only the temp issue as I seek higher OCs. Any suggestions?
