    Oh crap. And you've got an Epsilon 800 which means I'd better don't go for the Epsilon 700 I was planning for... this uncertainty is driving me nuts.
    If it's neither the PSU nor my PWM freezer (which doesn't touch anything but the phase chips) then what?!
    Maybe this board just can't cope with continuously high A for long periods of time
    I tell you this, if my third one's going down then I'll change mobos for good.

    Andre what kind of cooling you got for your PWMs?

    Edit: Come to think of it, 126A under load isn't that unusual if you're running a quad under phase change@4Ghz+... Remember, I got >160A at 3,6Ghz and only 1,32V (which was 107A before).
    I think your mobo might actually be ok, buzzing seems to be the price of running excessive QC speeds...
