Well as i have seen here with mosfets blowing, mine started blowing today & by the sounds of it 2 have gone as the PC shut off when Prime95 was run & a pop when turning on the PC & Prime95 then again & a smell so all is at stock now until i got a new mobo & a different make.
I had 1x 12" fan & a deskfan on the PWM from the first day i got the mobo & it still blow :shakes:

Bummer and thought MSI took care of that Mobo with a revision update a while back.
Remeber when B2 was first out and all PWM's were like Popcorn. Dont feel so bad I personally toasted four Mobos with a 9600BE. The 9600BE still lives:D

Haven't heard of this issue before. Where are the PWMs and what should I look for? I've seen blown caps before on the machines at work, but not PWMs.
On my K9A2 the mosfet cooler misses / covers only partially a few of the fets, I'm however making a waterblock for it on a CNC mill, should take care of the problem ;)
