QuadGT Arrived (56k warning)

[Borgod]

Yep I just wrapped a couple of layers of electricians tape around the plate to insulate it.

This motherboard is a joke.
PWM/temps etc I have no problem with.

Its the BIOS not saving, or locking up when I want to save it.
It when it doesnt boot up properly.
Its the onboard reset/power on buttons not working.
Its when it doesnt turn on when I want to.
Its that I have to clear CMOS with jumper, switch, PSU disconnect etc every time the PC locks up or doesn't boot properly.

All of these problems where here before I touched my PWM heatsink, but I am even more fustrated with it the more I reset/save BIOS etc.

So, the consensus here is that the PWM (mos-fets?) run super hot? I certainly don't want any noisy little fan blowing air across a mobo heatsink.

I've narrowed it down to P5B Deluxe, DFI P965 or this..

Are there any Corsair 1066 dominator problems with this board?

your experience is atypical - most people love the QuadGT's stability & it's forgiving behaviour.
RMA yours.

My first QuadGT was great, up until it blew.
This 2nd QuadGT is buggy as hell, not to mention hotter PWM's.
