Maybe I've been on the boat long enough to know better...
Dave .......could be that first generation hardware was inadequate Don't know. But I do know that most of the board related issues are from people pushing the HT.................(Thats a Fact).....did you do that? I know myself I have been very mindful of not doing that in any given case because of what I was witnessing happening to others boards..so I avoided it and have primed my machine for 9-11 hrs on numerous occasions same board since day one without issue

C'mon Dave I aint calling anyone out as a noob but this new standard of stability testing is not what I would call stable in which to judge
