My memory is quite fuzzy but I've got a feeling it was due to the nFail chipset on this motherboard actually - I seem to remember that disabling it seemed to make the chipset unstable, tho I might be wrong, there was definitely a very good reason why I re-enabled it tho.

I tried the park disable, alt+tabing out of BF3 showed 8 threads active rather than 6, however after 30 mins or so things started to get choppy with 10 fps drops (to 50), putting it back to normal seems to prevent this...
