The way my Gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-H is acting, it's like the Athlon X4 860K is some unusual power hog, despite it's supposed to be nothing compared to an FX!
The VRMs are too hot to touch at stock clocks and it's not even an FX! Now I have to heatsink the transistors!
Well, Gigabyte, at least with skipping the transistor heatsinks, did pull an "MSI G43"!
I watched one of the temp readings climb to at least around 210 C, but no crashes or errors... I found the culprit.
