Take it back to the store and see if they will swap it out for ya.
I was only running@1.36v.

It is definately the mobo. If anyone is familiar with the Gigabyte UD2; In the upper left hand corner just below the cpu fan header there is a cap. Just to the right of that I can clearly see one of those little chips is burnt up around it. I will try to take a decent pic for everyone to see. There is also a little resister fried by this little chip.

The bad thing is I got it from ewiz; will have to try to rma. If not will have to RMA through gigabyte. I plan to go to my local store to see what they have for P55 mobo's. I think they carry the UD2, but I do not know if I want one anymore.

EMU: wasn't yours an eVGA? That would mean its something with the p55 chipset/ or design in general. But others have had great luck with much higher voltages. Did we miss an important note sent out

Then the question would be, what are safe voltage levels to stick with, 1.36 is not too terribly much; even Anandtech went higher than this I believe on their review; can't recall.

Such a sad day; can't wait to tell the Wife I already broke her new puter
