I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I'd like more information. This is I think the third post I've seen about GB X79 boards catching fire. (One of them did it instantly after power on).
I don't know anything about International Rectifier, but I do know that Gigabyte, Asus and MSI have started using cheap "NIKOS" transistors even in their high-end motherboards. You can't trust these people, they're very deceptive, they have to guarantee SOME failure out there in the field to ensure further sales.
