Hehe, bet the gigabyte isn't using a switching power supply :> Find the
voltage regulators, very large heat sinks off the MB and touch them, they
should be excessively hot (Cant keep your finger on them). You might want
to put a fan near/on/over them to cool those puppies off. I know my MB has
3 large heatsinks on the voltage regulators, they get hotter than the CPU!
I also have a P5 MB with a switching power supply built in, it has no heat
sinks and still carries the same load..
