    I did not I bought a P870DM-G Instead the Cpacitor VRM or Mosfet under the GPU did burn though. the reason I didn't buy the new board is due to the lack of eDP Support... with no eDP support the max you can get GPU wise for the AW18 is 1 1070 or 2 980M, so for keeping something for long term it wasn't worth it to me in my opinion, The better option was to buy a system with eDP Support..
