Just asking as I also have a FXB but didnt see any problems, well not yet at least

Look forward to seeing the vids
Well, I was Priming overnight. I wake up the next morning and notice the PC was off, but with stanby LED etc on. This is weird since I cant even shut my PC off since it will always restart. And if a PC is unstable it either restarts or freezes up. So I turn it on again, notice lots of sparks and smoke. I take a look and notice MOSFETs blew up

Some people even got it on a system running at stock just starting a game etc. But I also read some people having that on the 790FX-M2R, which is seriously better regarding phases

But if you take a look at the MOSFET heatsink, well, if you take it off, you see that there's no thermal paste/tape. Just some sort of oil? The heat sink that's stock on the MOSFETs is higher and wider etc compared to the ones Im looking at, but the ones Im looking at are from copper with good thermal tape

But Im out of clues now anyway since I read that Phenom II will be faster for about 5% when it's using DDR3... This should mean it might be better after all to wait for that instead of getting AM2+ Phenom II... I hate this
