May have heard, and having sold hundreds with a very bad RMA rate are
two different things, but when they say pretty much the same thing,
then you have a problem.
And mine works perfect too. Only with Pentiums, that is. It becomes
crash and VR overheat KING with Cyrix CPUs.
Different motherboard and same 6x86, problems disappear.
Replacing the original MB does not solve the problem.
Voltage settings do not cure the problem.
I cured it by getting a different brand board. Voila. No problem. Same
thing for my father's and my uncle's machines. Any motherboard that
is 3 for 3 in screwing over members of my family is not getting any
sponsorship from me. No matter how cheap it sells.
And be aware that in the industry and among people in the know, the
manufacturer has the worst rep in the motherboard industry, for
remarked/fake chips, low quality, corner-cutting, what have you.
Yup.. it's really worth that $5 price savings!!
