Correct.

If there was an nForce 8 or later, it would not be reliable. My doubt was whether it existed at all, not whether it worked properly. So nForce 1 - 4 I know are reliable, nForce 5 probably isn't (The op is using nForce 5), and anything later is definitely unreliable.

There IS an nForce 8. We have a board with a GeForce 8100 onboard. Maybe it's for Europe and Asia only.

There's also a 8200 IIRC.

I have heard of nForce 8100, 8200, and 8300 chipsets. They weren't manufactured for a very long time period. For some reason, everyone uses the old 6000 series chipsets today.

Hey everyone... I know this is an old thread, but thanks to Google, I found it.
I have to replace at least half a dozen of the KZGs and if that doesn't fix the issue, I will be attempting a reflow.
I have never done this before so I am a bit nervous. The more research I have done on it, the more I see people recommending oven preheat at 385ºF and 'bake' the mobo for 8 minutes.
Has anyone here successfully used this method?
