I am on my second board now. I had to RMA the first one to ASUS because it shorted out when I plugged in the 8 pin atx cable. This only seems to be an issue when the Sandy Bridge processor is installed, so something is very wrong here. It ruined my first processor. After changing power supplies, ordering another processor, and getting a new board from ASUS, the same thing happened again. I'm getting tired of this, and I hope the third board will be the charm. If I had known I was going to go through all of this, I would never have purchased an ASUS board, and I probably never will again! Anyone else experiencing issues like this with this board? I am testing this board out of the case, so standoffs are not an issue, and when the 8 pin atx cable isn't plugged in, everything powers up the way it should. Plug in the 8 pin atx, and you can hear it short out inside the 8 pin connector. Two bad boards in a row? I'm puzzled. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

yes, the board will power with just the 24 pin but, the CPU will not.
