I have one, only 3 months young and I can't get Prime95 to run for more than 2 1/2 hours! This mobo set me back $260 and it was the biggest mistake. Apparently Gigabyte boards have memory controller issues for nforce3 boards!
For me I can't run Corsair 3200XLPro in any setting without pissing Prime95 off, not only that I can't use slots 3 and 4 to keep the memory away from the heatsink without the rig crashing constantly. So I have to run dual channel in slots 1 and 2.
Think I'm the only one with these problems? some of them are having issues even worse like the BSOD! Check out this link to the Corsair forums:

or anywhere in this section look for the K8NSNXP-939 mobo

Right now I'm running memtest86 all night to rule out defective memory but I really doubt it is.
Oh, note that Gigabyte's technical service is about the equivalent of Dell's. It sucks the big one. I never got an email back and many others as well didn't either. From all the forums Gigabyte finally acknowledge the memory issue last week!
So if I can't get this mobo stable I'm selling my X800XTPE and this POS mobo for cheap and going nforce4. I just wont be picking Gigabyte again anytime soon.
