Surprised at the thread views this thing is climbing up to.

Both of my IP35 Pro boards are doing great, one never gets rebooted and has the same QX6850 I dropped in way back when the board was released.

My other one sits with a QX6700 as my main machine at work hosting stuff at the offices, this one was the one we used for LN2 overclock the week of Computex.

I have not tested with 45nm but the life expectancy is pretty good even for abused boards. If oyu changed your chip it might be the bios needs update.
