Define abuse; in my case, on every one of their boards I've used. As a matter of procedure. I crank the frequency, and voltage (overclock) to the threshold all the hardware will sustain reliably. I then drop it until FreeBSD stops complaining (runs reliably). This is true on both Server, as well as their Desktop boards. I tend to keep the CPU loads pretty near their ceiling all of the time. In nearly all cases, these boards run 24/7/365. I have never had one fail. The shortest period I've ever run one, was 5yrs. I have never retired one because of failure. I *did* have to retire a CPU, once. But the board it came from was unaffected. I'd need to go through all my records to dig up the models. But the box I use for much of my development work, that I am writing this from, is a 880GMA-E45. It has run steady since I put it into service ~6yrs ago. In summary; if the chips on the boards meet your requirements, you'll probably find these (MSI) pretty reliable work horses. > בתאריך 16 בספט׳ 2015 22:37, "Chris H" <bsd-lists@bsdforge.com> כתב: > > > On Wed, 16 Sep 2015 10:56:52 -0700 Dieter BSD <dieterbsd@gmail.com> wrote > > > > > > Anyone have opinions on other mainboard companies?
