All these sound like a firmware corruption issue ( either main BIOS or ME ).
Never had any issues on the Gene-Z and the Gene, neither on the UD3H ( as far as these issues are concerned ).
Perhaps it is somehow triggered by running 1c1t ?
That's the only thing I haven't done in any of my SB & IB sessions.
Insulation-wise I vaseline the baby excessively and thoroughly, never had any moisture/condensation or any water drops at all on any part of the motherboard.
Speaking of 1c1t, I remember having the multiplier locked to 39x ( or was it 36x ) with Clarkdale and both on Gigabyte & eVGA P55 mobos. ( didn't try raising the CPU Multi in windows, or maybe I did and it wouldn't change, can't recall for sure ).
