Kinping had NO corruptions, roll back a few pages and see it by yourself.

It looks that there is nothing bad with our HDDs, just need to reinstall or fix the OS, if the corruption happened. It's still bad though.
So the HDDs dont die at all? Anandtech said their (2) 74gb raptors died w/ 790i. As mentioned before, they wouldnt say they were dead if they knew they just had to format them.

We know how ASUS is with RMAs, imagine thousands of RMAs,

Before you guys keep losing your faith, have you all tried 0601? Seems to be a nice release.
