Update: Looks like the new motherboard is DOA which is funny to me because my past experience with Intel motherboards has been very positive. Oh well … can’t win them all. Now to RMA the board and get a new one from ZipZoomFly. Also it looks to me like the problems with my other board may have actually been heat related and not a problem with the chip. Not sure how to solve it but I will elaborate later when I have time.
