I had the board working for about 4 days. I can't say too much about it as I never got a chance to really test it out before it blew up on me. I know it went up to 315 mhz FSB on its own. 1:1 1T, I couldn't tell you because either my Corsair PC4400 was/is screwed or the Gigabyte board had problems, but I wasn't even stable at 250 1:1, 1T.

Anyway, I'm completely soured on the board after it literally destroyed itself during one fateful Saturday. I plugged in a PATA hard drive, and next time I booted up, half the board was fried. Things got worse as the day went on so it was totally unusable by the end of it.

I just got my replacement MSI Platinum SLI board today, lets hope that goes a bit better.

This seems to be quite common with people using the NForce 4 boards.

I've read countless reports of people who plug a hard drive into the board turn it back on and then it dies.

...however, all the cases share one thing, these people failed to UNPLUG the computer completely before installing, and during installation failed to keep themselves grounded.

Oskar Wu says the NF4 chipset is the most voltage sensitive yet and you must remove the plug into from the PSU and let the computer sit for about 20 seconds before you plug in or unplug ANYTHING, even just a hard drive cable. Grounding yourself is also a key.

Seems to be a theme running with all the board failiures.
