I searched "neo2" on the forums, and found there are several threads about ppl's neo2s dying randomly as well. WTF this is...

For those who RMA'ed, how long was the turn-around time?
My MSI died after +/- 1 month of usage. All of a sudden the board and the CPU were both dead. Was a pitty because the CPU (3000+ 0445SPBW) did 2850MHz on air @ 1.45v ! And I wasn't done tweaking it yet.
Got a new mobo from RMA about 5 days later but still waiting on the CPU (almost 5 weeks now, surprised if I even get a new one).
So I bought another 3000+ which was really crappy :p: 2500MHz was max, and the cpu wouldn't work with the 166 divider at all so I sold it and got me this CPU which is a pretty good one :) 0450 TPBW
Been reading the forums for a while but this is my first actual post :D
mine died, so upset i just got a shuttle.
I only had mine for about a month, but never had a single problem with it. I've heard that many of the early boards suffered from failures. I can't quite remember the serial number range that had bad failure rates though.
I'm just stretching my nec over towards the side of my desk and looking worryingly at my system, hurry up DFI with the NF3! :stick:
Yeh Hurry up DFI 939 AGP :p:
You guys make me nervous, I just ordered a Neo2.... :)
What about running it like 24hours stock before you overclock it?
And did you guys get some AS5 on the NB? because there is almost no TIM.
