That's my gut instinct. I'm just trying to double/triple check that I haven't missed a simple setting before taking it back. I just checked Everest Ultimate and it's reporting that the NorthBridge core voltage is at 1.1v . Would bumping that up to 1.12 or 1.14v have any negative impact? I'm hoping that since the board is only a week old, they'll just let me swap it for a new one (and not have to go through sending it to ASUS etc) and when they ask me if I've adjusted anything I can honestly say 'nothing dangerous'.
I'm also hoping that since I installed the board myself, they won't try and say 'you installed it, you broke it' (even though I'm 98% sure I didn't). On the plus side, if the board does have to come out, it's a perfect excuse to replace the stock intel cooler with a better one.
