Every time I try to over clock by setting my own VCore, three cores get disabled and when I'm in windows, E-Leet tells me I have 1 core and two threads... I checked the processor and all the pins are making contact.  When are we getting the new UEFI?

Spent a bit of time last night trying multiple settings on Manual without success. Verified that all cores were selected, but have ended up with the same result as gutierrezdairy. Tried setting VCore manually without any CPU overclock, will boot to Windows but Eleet shows only one core. Tried VCore voltages from 1.22V all the way up to 1.28V for stock 3.4Gig multiplier. Won't work at this time. Haven't messed with memory settings other than to ensure that I'm at stock DIMM voltage and that my settings are correct according to manufacturer. Will run like a champ on Auto, though, up to 4Ghz, w/excellent temps and all cores active. It's a mystery.

I followed Jacob's Overclocking Guide right down the line, following all of his settings, including disabling all settings that affect cpu limiting. Yes, the BIOS voltage does show up under the Voltages tab in Eleet, and they reflect the VCore setting I selected. I just wanted to see if I could do any manual VCore settings successfully without throwing in a CPU multiplier increase into the mix. The board doesn't seem to like the manual setting. I even remounted my H70 cpu cooler and checked the processor socket just to make sure everything is correct there, and it is. Tonight I'll remove 8Gig of my memory (leaving me with 8Gig) and play with the memory voltages a little to see if that results in any success.

I have a few questions before I pull the trigger on this board and I hope someone can answer them:

1 - Can all 6 of the Intel Sata ports be used at one time?  I thought I read that two were shared. 
2- If I run three GPU's, the PCIe slots will be 8x 8x 8x, correct?
3 - Is this board better than the MEIV?  I have the Asus, but I find it quirky.  I had an Asrock Extreme6 which was great, but I want three GPU's, so I thought about this board, any opinions?
Anyone?

Just got my board up and running and I'm having the exact same issue.

When I following the OC instructions that Jacob posted I noticed under E-LEET my core speed would drop to 1596.6.  I went back to default and I noticed that my vcore would fluctuate and my core speed would rise to stock speed and fall to 1596.6.  Also the multiplier would cycle between x16 and x34.  I wonder if this some sort of power saving throttle and when you overclock but I have read other people being able to OC there boards with out any issues.

Here is a pic of what I am talking about with the throttling and I see in CPU Temp is looks fine.

Side note:  I am using both of the 8 pin power connections since my PSU has them and helps with overclocking.  Not sure if that is a valid point or not but thought I would mention it.
