No, but if it happened, I'm willing to bet it's an issue with your PSU.
What are the symptoms?

I have another thread that we have been disscusing if it was my mobo or cpu that had fried and after doing all of the elimination processes I about decided it had to be a bad mobo or corrupt. Then I pulled the gpu and noticed a blown chip. But the mother board still does not post or beep for an accepted post so I figured it was bad to start with. My leds sey FF on the board when u turn it on.

what do you mean? RMA'ing is generally free, except for shipping. You generally do have to pay shipping both ways... so it does get rather expensive, especially when sending in 3 items at the same time.
EDIT
you have to pay for shipping there, not back. Still sucks

I'm pretty sure I had to pay for shipping back... I know I had to pay for shipping there.
OK I just checked: you do pay shipping there and not back. Still I think I had like 30 dollars in shipping charges when I RMA'd all that hardware.

so when you turn the pc on it goes until FF on the mobo that usually means fully functional
and does it usually beep after booting
and if you complain a lot they will usually pay shipping both ways
oh and xfx has a the fastest turn around i have seen so your gfx rma should be quick
oh and about the original question yes i have the DFI DK P35-T2RS now and it has something to do with either the pci/pci-e bus voltage or frequency or maybe both as it has killed 2 sound cards 1 modem 1 pci wireless card and going on 3 video cards (8400gs, 4830, x800) and anything connected via pci on the board is either broken (ide controller) or acts funny but its not the dfi's fault we were trying to kill my friends old 7800gtx and we just couldnt we ran it without the fan pulled the heatsink off in a video game took off the memory sinks and vrm sinks and ran it oc'd like that for almost a week he came over one day while i was at work and i told him to try and kill it as i couldnt seem to so he drug aluminum foil across the back till a vrm popped and when we put a new card in my board we found that all the pci cards in it at the time of the vrm failure were dead along with the ide controller and it has gotten worse since then

Ouch....
PCI-E Freq kills cards... Its a known fact... My 8800GT at PCI-E freq of 120 was stable for over a month. one day i started getting instability so i clocked everything but pci-e down to stock, ran fur mark, after about 10min i came in to a burnt card, you could smell it...
thought maybe PSU, but after setting pci-e back to 100 and running this psu for another year now with 2 8800;s and now a 285, I have to be convinced it was that pci-e freq that did it.
