Have the above motherboard, but was wondering if anyone else was having a similar issue. While i can't speak for everything else on the board, the sbawe32 isa main chips seem to be running very very hot- almost too hot to touch. I dont think this is normal....or is it?
Edit: Tried it on another system, same results, chip getting almost too hot to touch. Sorry for posting in the wrong area.
In the se440bx system, i had 2 hard drives die within minutes of each other. Is it possible the card is drawing too much current and/or shorting the +5 and the -5 or -12 power rails? I see no obvious damage to the card, and no modifications other then a strange bypass on one of the upper chips.
It doesn't seem normal that the main chip would run also too hot to touch...
