Board deaths

Just a word of warning to those of you planning to use sub-zero cooling with Conroe. The motherboard kill rate is much higher than on other platforms. A number of people have had boards die on them. I've lost a few. I think part of the problem is all the capacitors and voltage regulators near the socket. Even insulating the boards doesn't seem to help a lot. In the future, I'm going to be more careful and probably stick to air-cooling most of the time.
