If you haven't opened it up I would send it back somthing I regret I have to pack it up and send it back now plus there was no i/o shield in the box
I didn't RMA my board just dsr as I'm not sure if they'll be able to replicate it. I have detailed the issue to support though. Don't want it messing up someone else's chip. Edit: I read that it's a known bug that's already sorted for next bios.

That's the thing, downloading beta bios you are becoming a beta tester, your purpose is to find bugs and you found one
(good for you and other owners) but you can't blame anybody else for doing this as 902 bios doesn't have it (high voltage bug). You could run your CPU with default settings, official bios (from asus website) and memory with default settings (2133) etc...OC is not guaranteed.16979 can't post at all and he's got reasons to complain

HW Monitor was reporting voltage incorrectly. The latest 2 BIOSes have shown it correctly for me.
If it really is that high just change the voltage manually.
I think there was recent version that should show correctly, however Asus guys mentioned on default even 1.528V is still ok as those are really short V readings. Sometimes software is lagging behind the actual temp changes and is showing rubbish
Yeah, if anyone reads this motherboard thread in the OCNET forums, will see that both the 1700X and 1800X have issues with this board. In many instances it burns them by pumping 1.7v to them. However 1700 have no issues with it. I have already RMA mine and got replacement for the same money. A new 6800K which was on offer and the GA X99 GU.
Built the system in 30 minutes today, and booted on first try with total cost as much as the 1700X and the CH6.

The CH6 is working well for me and my 1700. I have my RAM working at 14-14-14-34 at 2933MHz. I can't get 3200MHz but that's something to look forward to. The CPU is clocked to 3.8GHz (I haven't tried higher) and idle temp is less than 40 degrees using the Wraith cooler (1.37V Vcore which I may be able to get lower), which incidentally at 50% is inaudible.
It certainly hasn't been bish bash bosh works like an Intel system usually does, but it has taken very little tweaking to get stable for me.

My 1700 got 1.7 pumped into with this board
That's what people should do (or 7700k, depending on needs) if they don't have time, patience, fun...etc from playing (above default) with the new platform
Really, why after reading so much about issues with the platform (there is even thread about gigabyte mobos damaging the ram, also some people in CH6 thread had to replace memory as it was faulty too, so it gets you thinking...) people decide to get it and they are surprised OC/beta bioses/ memory not listed/ are not working
Just wait, give it a month, two. If you decide to get it now just run it on default, rma if you can't POST and enjoy if you can get more

Even 2 weeks waiting for another X370 mobo is too long period.
I don't see 7700K an upgrade over the 6700K unfortunately. Making the complete sale of the 6700K stupid of my part if I was going to grab another 4 core.
The 8 hours I am working with the 6800K looks fine and overclocks to 4.2Ghz at stock voltage (1.202v) !!! While sees straight away the 3600CL16 ram (2 modules) and I am set.
When I am happy with the stability of the system next few days, I will try to see how far I can push this nice CPU.
But I agreed with you...

I'm joining the club. I get the pretty LEDs lighting up but the thing just won't boot. No fans spinning, nothing. It could be the RAM or CPU of course but given the issues everyone else is having I'm pretty sure it's going to be the board.
When mine powered up it started heating up after 5-10 minutes the bios was always saying 94 degrees and it wasn't moving up or down. Then I saw the board shut down power to the CPU and then I powered the system down I know this is a fail safe this was with an 1800x
Whats the error on the top left corner?
If you got a brand new board you have to install the bios 0902 at least. Mine didn't boot after building it. Took me one hour to figure out that I had to flash it -_-
Poor CPU
Is it working at least or got killed by the motherboard?
Anyhow, welcome to Asus spontaneous overvoltage club.
