Aussie FX: Yeah, it was my own fault man... The MSI DKA790GX was a really nice board and actually OC'd quite well. I could bench it at 3.3/2.4, and it ran really stable at 3.1/2.2 close to stock volts.
The problem seemed to be that I couldn't put anything over 1.45v's on the CPU (I never overvolt the IMC much).
I modded the AOD.ini file which allowed me to up the CPUvid to 1.55, started 4x Prime and killed the board within an hour... 
It sucks, cause I really liked that board too, granted the power section was a little weak, but it ran great for a couple months until I decided to bypass it's safety measures... 
As much as I dislike Asus, I bought an open box M3A79-T for $138. I haven't really pushed it too hard yet (and probably won't!) but so far it's doing pretty well 205x15.5x11x10, with a slight overvolt on the CPU (1.375) and stock IMC (1.3).
The Asus has a really nice PWM section 8+2, stays cool and OC's a little better stable than the MSI. For an Asus, it's a really nice mobo... 
Give me a couple months, I'll probaly kill it too... No wait, the Power section of this board seems quite capable, I'll probably burn my 9950 instead...
