Is there any optiom to fix this problem? I tried to turn off some Intel feature on bios, change differently voltages, but that won't help. I bought motherboard only on friday (01/22), Is to return the motherboard a best solution? It's great motherboard but. I'm not happy to return it. Sorry for bad English. Thanks.

Personally I would go for the Gigabyte. I have never had any problem with them, amazing quality.

For Overclocking all the listed motherboards will have similar performance. The only big difference is the BIOS. On that regard, I think that MSI has the easiest/best bios for overclocking. But as I said I'd go with the Gigabyte.
