Cool n Quiet is disabled.
Default VCore voltage is 1.40 or 1.45 (can't remember now). I tried setting
it to .05 higher (I think there might be another .05 setting after that, but
I could be wrong. I'm not in front of that computer at the moment so I
can't check the BIOS). But as a test, I did try setting it to a lower VCore
setting. Same results, the saved settings revert back to the default.
I'll try your suggestion to contact ASRock's support, however, I tried
contacting them via email before (for a different reason), and I got no
reply. Still, it doesn't hurt to try again.
thanks
