True, but I know before the 7VXR boards came out, the was a big deal about the first GF4's not fitting on the popular board at the time, the Epox 8KHA+. It's probably a little bit of both..
Apparently, the review sites weren't having problems either as every board that was tested by a review site got a glowing review!
Yeah, I'm sure those boards that were sent to the review sites were tested heavily by GB first...
Do a search on the forums for GA-7VRXP and GeForce4 and you'll see there's a lot of issues. More often than not. But the issues do seem to be random. Most people say the problem is just with their GeForce4 cards while others say they've had a problem with Radeon 8500's. One person I talked to at Gigabyte said that it didn't matter and that all AGP video cards have a problem.
Point is, if someone is having a problem, Gigabyte has addressed it. If people are having a problem, they need to take the appropriate course of action to get it fixed.
Agreed, I'm glad GB is adressing this as well, especially offering to repair the problematic ones. I'm curious, does GB finally implement support for the XP/MP thermal diode on the new 2.0 revision?
