Well I would think that your opti would boot, however whith a phenom thats not supported by bios. It dosnt beeb or anything, usualy your Hdd light will flash and fans run full speed and thats it. Guess I would check on the Gigabyte site to make sure that opti is supported by that bios and if it is then I guess you were right on the dead board. EDIT: Wasnt paying attention to notice that you had already verified the suport of your opti...sorry
I looked it up and that is the only opti supported and on F1 at that. What Ram are you using?
And dont take offence if this question seems like this kind of mistake is way below you cause i dont mean it to but have you made sure that you have the correct 8/4 pin connector on the MB at CPU? Just worth asking as it cant hurt.
It just seems the board must have been working when it was shipped to you or you wouldnt think they would have shipped it without pay to let you test it first if it was dead in there hands.

Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Rule 1A:
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
