    Yeah I think your right. Good thing I went with Newegg on this board. As long as it is within 30 days they will cross ship another motherboard. So as soon as I they get some im I will RMA it that way I dont have to be without for more than a few days.

    **Official Chaintech Zenith VNF4 nForce4 Motherboard Thread**

    Under CPUZ-> mainboard-> sensor it is FFFF.... Which is never good. Is this my cpu temp sensor by chance? If I RMA this sucker I am SOL for what about 2 weeks? I think if I dont try to O/C am probably ok but either way I am running kind of blind.

    I did also notice there is a 4 pin connector on the board but not even discussed in the user manual. I bought the thermaltake because wether it makes a difference or not I figured why skimp on a 5 dollar piece of gear when I spent so much on the system.
