I'm using a Antec true480 PSU, Heatpipe101-92mm Tornado. 28c idle 38c loaded. I tried using GSkill 4400LE 2x512, bad move. It corrupted all 4 drives. One stick failed memtest, the other was OK but it would not OC very well. I talked to GSkill and he told me that the RAM was not compatable with nForce2. So went back to BH-5 @2-3-2-11. This has been a very good stable board. In fact just recieved my 9NPA and 3200 winny today. I'll post when I get it running.
Bad news you're telling me ...

Since I know Epoxes do have some memory compatibility issues (e.g. my 8RDA3+ rev.2.1 didn't run with OCZ PC3200), as many other nFroce2 motherboards as well, I had made sure it would run fine before I bought the current mem sticks. One of the guys here in forums runs his 8RDA6+ PRO with G.Skill PC4400 LE 2x512MB at FSB233 without any issues and rock stable, well, at least he claims so.

I won't get rid of the G.Skill sticks, 'cause they are very good overclockers and should work with my future A64 system. At FSB210 they don't cause any problems at all (2-2-2-11), but above that I've observed some really peculiar stability issues. Good I haven't sold my Twinmos Twister PC4000 yet.

And good news you're telling me ... because I was already thinking of changing the mobo, although I was pretty sure my OC problems were memory-related.

Btw. What exactly has happened to your HDDs?
