Huh; that is odd. Wonder what it does.

I'm still trying to decide if it's worth it to me to RMA my board because I have to cover the shipping cost. I've already ordered another 780i board to replace it, since I don't trust the P7N enough, but I may RMA this one to have a spare in case the other board decides to crap out (and I've become much less trusting of motherboards since dealing with this one). As I said, I was pretty pleased with this board's performance when it wasn't acting up, but it seems to act up so very often. I've learned a lot from this build and am looking forward to my next build several years down the road, since I'll have a lot in mind regarding what to avoid in order to have a reliable machine (and make any part failure less crippling, as right now I don't even have any means of getting data off my hard drives).

I'm really interested in whether anyone's having long term success with this board, so keep us updated on how it performs over the next while. Is anyone actually making it to a year of use without failure?
