None that I know of.
The only thing I've heard about NF2 boards is that they're picky with multipliers...(if you can change them on your board)
Apparently, NF2 boards dont' like multipliers lower than 10

i'm with ga-7n400-l rev.2 running smooth and stable, but could be better (better vcore adjustment and 5-bit multiplier would be great)

GA-7N400-L revision 1 here. No major problems. Had some trouble booting up when I messed around with the memory settings, and couldn't help but notice the Reset CMOS switch isn't there.

ga-7n400 pro2
I dont have any problems with it really, cant find much information about the board save the manuals that came with it, i cant change the ram timings, and i cant go to 200mhz fsb.
other than that i havent had any problems.

i cant edit my post so ignore what i said about the ram timings. after searching around other forums someone said you have to hit ctrl+f1 on the main page, silly me thinking it would be accesible after hitting ctrl+f1 in the menu you needed the advanced options in. just seems logical to me.

That's interesting what you said about your 400 Pro 2 board not running at 200 fsb. I've been having some problems getting to 200 and running stable, but I've got more work to do yet before I can conclude it's the motherboard. What happens when you crank the fsb up?
Thanks for the tip about memory timings in the bios!

ive got it at 190 now, im gonna try 1mhz at a time till i get it as colse to 200 as i can but when i put it to 200mhz windows wont load, it just keeps rebooting right when windows goes to load or it crashes and says it cant find a file needed to load windows. might be the northbridge overheating? cant tbe the cpu never goes above 53celcius under full load. idle around 45-48 depending on ambient temps in the house.
maybe its my ram i dont know much about ddr, mines running at cas 2.5 4-4-8 its a 512 stick of geil golden dragon ddr 400. im gonna read more about the timings and try changing that around.

1 ata33 hard drive and 1 ata 133
guillemont/hercules muse 5.1 DVD sound card. im thinking of going back to the ac97. yeah its that bad, either that or take the sblive from my old pc. i think thats all the relevant info.
i messed around with the ram timing and lowered the ones they say the lower the better and raised the ones that they said the higher the better.
old cas 2.5-4-4-8
new cas 2.0-3-3-9
i read somewhere that nforce2 likes cas 2.5-2-2-11 and when i tried that my pc wouldnt boot, so im gonna go baby steps.
