Remove the CMOS battery on the motherboard for about 1 minute.

Boot it with the GTX 470 then go into the bios and set it so that the onboard VGA is the first to load.

The stock coolers blow air directly down to the motherboard, right onto the mosfets. MOST aftermarket coolers blow air across it.

Pretty sure this would fit perfectly

In!

So I have my motherboard here and the phase list says that I can overclock a 125w TDP CPU if I have cooling. I have sinks on the vrms if that's enough. The vrms are not what I'm concerned about, but my ferrite core chokes get pretty hot...
