So the chip is not responding at all on the non-working boards. Perhaps it has not been initialized or released from reset? Does it make a difference if you go into the BIOS (or especially the BIOS hardware monitoring screen) before you boot? Have you asked Intel? Locate the ADM1025 on a working board. Is it also present on the non-working boards?
