I don't know how serious this is but this doesn't sound good at all. I hope it's a fluke or the culprits are exposed quickly.

H81 is an old arbitrary chipset.... weird to me uefi in 2013??

Why hasn't it made its way into something modern? Or MSI/Asrock boards?

I updated to the latest AGESA even though I didn't want to.. but stuff like this is crazy. My p2p days are over now and just a surface dweller these days but better safe than sorry I guess.

I sure don't like the lower PBO voltage cap

Me too. Probably because people were complaining about how hot their cpu was. When really their cooling just sucks.
