I've never been so stressed such as BA did ! and I think if MS have not been on that for providing a real support and a plan B specially for X3 customers this would have been a disaster :/
It's still a disaster. Four heatsinks and fans per your plan B boards plus power supply. Still not gonna look good to make anything back unless BTC price rises and difficulty doesn't go sky high.
they suggested to exchange the extra chips for boards ! what do you want more ?! Rather fallow this way or to wait a thing that can never come
