Really sucks about the board. I think a broad qualifying statement about the board's ability to handle 65nm quads is grossly inaccurate. You fried the mosfets, major suckage but it sounds like you may have had a flawed board from the start. I found immediately that that area of the board in particular needs special cooling attention. Contact was poor and I consider the pad useless. My ip35-pro has run a q6600@3600 100% load nonstop crunching WCG since I set it up and I have no reason to believe it won't continue to do so for a good long time. Vdroop is a fact, I have it but it's not out of the range of any other board I run. I'm quite satisfied and may add another quad cruncher built around ip35-pro simply because of the simplicity and stability.
