I keep reading comments about how people borked their BIOS with an 8RDA or 8RGA. How common is this problem anyway? I'm done burning in my new 8RGA+ but now I'm afraid to overclock it. Its one of our office machines and I can't afford to have it just drop dead. Its got pretty good cooling and some small heatsinks on mosfets and other components. Stock NB heatsink with AS3 and a side fan. I had high hopes for it until now. Thanks for any comments.

Except from my temperatures which I think is wrong, I'm very pleased with the board (8RGA+).
I have been burning it in for a few days now, and tried OC'ing it for the first time last night... got a 213Mhz FSB with a multiplier of 11. :D
I'll continue playing with the board as I get home tonight, and I think you should play with you'rs as well. :)
