I seriously dont think it was the PSU that went. There was no internal damage in the unit, nothing. It was VCC that burnt out and there are no tracks or anything on the mobo but that fan is THE DEVIL it went in about 2 monts and rattled ever since. Strangely enough it ran from VCC +5V! The PC worked fine - even after the smoke apart from the onboard lan which stopped. Honestly, all the evidence points to the Mobo.
If I was to get another Gigabyte i would use a passive northbridge cooler and the mobo would HAVE to be very good value for $.

Dual Bios is good but lets face it, no one flashes that often.
