1) initial CBB -75C to -85C on most chips, this is due to bclock and possibly other things so that is the reason i start my settings at -75 or so and go from there

2) CBB after benching crash at full pot > usually dead on around -150C. Most chips need to be warmed up to -150 and started. my main benching chip doesn't like to be warmed up to -140 for example or if i start the setup at -155 it will then go into second CBB (-80C, painful) so as long as i repeat the process and start it at -150 it will fire up every time.

i also disable iGPU as i noticed it can cause the initial CBB after crash

one other thing to be mindful of is if you bench and crash, hit reset right away and sometimes it iwll boot cycle back into windows with full pot without shutting down (extreme bios behaves a bit better here, as it does with bios changes at low temps)

3h or 5h?

was the results and observations done on the ud3h or ud5h?

Same on all inc Sniper3

Could it be that Ivy is degrading after a few hours of benching?

I could bench at 6400mhz Aquamark, now only 6200?

They have the same behavior. I also got both boards here.

Try again on a fresh go and see how it does.

I would agree with your idea.

but also board with full pot always have issues after a few hours.

I'd love to know your findings after resting the board.
