Sorry I should have been clearer, when I said I liked them I meant I 
liked them as build boxes. I haven't tested them in other contexts so I 
cant comment on the behaviour of hardware outside that used on a build 
box. I have heard the IMX makes a lot more heat if you start pushing the 
GPU than it does in CPU bound tasks.

OOI under what conditions were you seeing the flakiness? workload? case? 
kernel?
