OK, if you don't mind telling us the community what's going on here? I am reading post that the badaxe is dying when you overclock it with a core 2 duo. I have read other posts with other MB. Fugger, FCG, etc. can you give light to what's going on here? I am ready to purchase but if there are bugs I would rather wait until their are fixed. I seen one post that pointed to a fried mosfet on a badaxe. What's going on here?

IIRC FCG told it was with vdimm modded board

Random thought based on nothing:
Maybe the new PWM revision is using non-ideal components? a la 7900GT
Thats really a stab in the dark, based on the original post and some creative thinking, nothing more!

yeah believe it happens after you do the vdimm mod..

is that so?? Interesting

No, my board died because of dead pci slot (took X-fi sound as well)
...
Hmmmm....subscribed.
With my x6800 and bad axe on the way, this thread has me more than a bit concerned. Any reports of CPU harm done when the mobo dies?

was the same board as the one who gave you trouble with bios settings?

The problem happened with the older A and B rev chips.
No chip damage to anyone so far. One report of a sound card being killed is the only hardware I have seen reported dying as a result.
Both of my boards were unmodded, my second board may be condensation related but no way to confirm.

I've had one die...no vdimm mod (wasn't even pushing the memory hard), didnt take anything with it.
oh crap, are there any symptoms , i mean have they warned that they were about to die?

If running 400x10 under air is a symptom, then I guess I had one, otherwise no.
(And that's why I had no SS's, just camera shots of my 4GHz air run)
Okay, this doesn't sound too threatening then. I'm going to push everything along as far as I can on water before I move to phase. I'm going to monitor the progress and move slowly. That way, in case the mobo goes, I'll have a better idea of what the problem was.
Call me crazy, but I love all this new hardware trail blazing

For the record how many confirmed Intel boards have blown, OCing or stock with Conroe?
I swear I read of an Intel board dying with no mods and another one with a blown fet near the RAM(modded).

I'd say that >25% of the boards had blown...and wouldn't be AT ALL suprised if it were >50%
My Bad Axe also died after a couple of weeks. A few people also lost their RAM along with their boards. My RAM survived.
Although people have gotten great results with the Bad Axe, I just don't think the board was designed for extreme overclocking. I'm moving on to something else.
The funny thing is that my AOpen Yonah board is still chugging along, and it's suffered a lot more abuse at my hands than my Bad Axe board.

My board does not show that damage. In fact I can't see any damage anywhere.
I don't think the same thing is responsible for killing all the boards that have died. There have been a few cases where users reported VDimm suddenly surging above 3v which of course is not good. Maybe Intel will fix some of the problems in the next revision. But there's no way I'm going to buy another Rev.304 board.

has anyone else noticed similar problems with other boards??

By the looks of it this thread is more aimed at BadAxe's .. not anything 965 based? Is that a fair comment?
Lol the 965 boards aren't even out yet....

But I think the bad axe is the only Conroe board which shipped in great volumes so far
My Rig:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6400
2x512mb Micron PC3200 OEM D9DQW "Fatbody"
Biostar TForce P965 Deluxe
MSI/Medion GeForce 6700XL (Cheap)
Chieftec 360W (in search for someting better)
WD 160GB S-ATA
Maybe that will explain why they already have a badaxe 2, possibly???

And, why are people still recommending them??

It is possible to unlock the mutiplier on them.
