So the temps are not as good as I thought with the NB on this board, just as well I made that custom NB cooler pressure clip.
When using the Noctua NC-U6 on my 790x NB my temps sit between 28-31 degrees

Well then I can't wait to get my budget together.

I stuck the board in my HAF last night, and mmmmmmmmm it's awesome. Everything was such a breeze, even mounting the watercooling block was simple. The layout rocks and the 10 sata ports (6 sata, 4 gsata) come in handy, the pci bracket with the sata and molex ports are awesome too...you can hook up a normal sata drive outside the case for convenience and has up too 12 usb ports which I took full advantage of.

So far so good with it

If you're going to replace cooling, get the DFI 790FXB-M3H5.

I've ordered G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 1600 CL7's , they havn't arrived yet...neither has the cpu, so I have not tried the board out yet

There's different theories to what's the best...tighter timings, higher speeds bla bla
