Hi Guys,
I was playing WoW on my hackintosh, all of a sudden, my keyboard stopped responding, in a few secs the screens went flashing and I felt the strange smell, something was burning! When I looked at the top of my case I saw smoke and before I reached to the PSU switch, the fire was burning out of the fan hole at the top, shocking experience, I can tell you!
The local distributor refused to replace the board, so I wrote directly to the Gigabyte co., hope they'll be more understanding.
Anyway, the rest of the components survived, since it's my main machine I am using for work, I ordered new mobo - GA P55A-UD4. I was in real dilemma weather to order Gigabyte again or to go for some other brand since this is my 2nd UD3 board that went off on me, the first one just stopped workin.
The CPU was OCed to 3.2 GHz, the case is Thermaltake Element S, I used 2 exhaust fans for cooling and Prolimatech Megahalems as CPU Cooler.
