Having some odd issues with it, and basically want to know if anyone knows what's up...

I've had the board for about 2-3 weeks now (not from OCUK), and it has happily been running overclocked with an E6320 with the latest bios.

However today, suddenly, the board resets all the O/C settings to default on reboot each time. I haven't changed any settings, and it does not go though it's normal procedure to fail to POST a few times and then go back to defaults, it simply ignores any O/C settings I save to CMOS and reverts to originals.

I've tried removing all my own settings and simply setting FSB to 267 (instead of the "default" 266) and it still reverted to 266. The only setting it seems to keep is the multiplier and the RAM timings, but refuses to let me change FSB.

How, I know this "could" be a CPU issue, but given the fact that it does not go though the normal fail to POST etc procedure it leads me to believe it's the board.

Any ideas anyone? Would suck having to RMA it as it would be a lot of work to remove it :(
