It is, but within range for the requirements, just not a lot of
headroom. Using the same graphics chipset with the older processor
worked fine.
Watching the voltages in Speedfan when the system was running show no
fluctuation, even when running processor and GPU heavy software. The
system appeared stable otherwise.
I did at one point have everything unplugged from power except the GPU
and fans, and motherboard; no drives or external devices.
I wouldn't think the GPU would cause high demand without being
instructed to run 3D.
Maybe I'll walk the board down to the local shop and have them test it out.
I did some reading on the issue I'm seeing, and it seems as if it's
likely a bad board, many people who have this board have encountered the
same problem.

My older 3D card is AGP, this board uses PCIe... ;)
