Just ordered me a 2600K/Asus Z68 PRO board

Thread Starter 
Should be here Wednesday. Can't wait!! :]

It's been a long time since I've messed with anything Intel and I just recently built my sig rig about 2 months ago. Before that, I was on hiatus from building for quite some time so I'm still a bit out of the loop on the Intel side of things.

Any helpful info, tips, etc, etc are welcome. Also been reading a lot of this part of the forum lately.

Not the same board, but the Z68 UEFI BIOS will likely be exactly the same. Enjoy!

Congrats on your choice, I as well came from the AMD woods(1090T). I'm happy where I'm at right now. Enjoy the i7 26000k its a great chip.

Wonder if they'll put out a Z68 sabertooth?

Not sure. Just saw that ASUS just put up their Z68 Deluxe. I was hitting myself but the only difference really is the deluxe has hdmi output.

My newegg order still hasn't processed. That's odd.

Won't be here tomorrow. Thursday. I guess I'll just be putting the torture rack together tomorrow.
