Not sure what you are talking about. Look at the success rate vs. failure...there could be any number of reasons for the failure that has nothing to do with the boards. This is one of the few boards I've ever seen get 98% score of 4 or 5 on newegg from end user reviews. I think if this board was prone to more failure than usual, we would have heard about it from the whiners that post reviews at newegg. Have a read through some of the Asus and DFI board threads, then think again about how poor this board is....
