I'll be picking up on an EVGA X58 E762 (edit, lower priced board decision) EVGA X58 SLI FTW3 in about a week. My Rampage III Extreme, I have had it for a while, a little bit of water got on the PCB when the board was not even powered on while I was re-doing my water cooling configuration. I dried it, took the MB heat sink off, compress air'd the water out of it, and made sure there was no corrosion on the PCB at all, all of the LEDs/ROG logo comes on like it's a working board, but it REFUSES to power on. I spent hours taking close looks at the solder points for anything suspicious and came up with nothing. I still prefer to use my six core 980X, I don't think I really want to move to Sandy Bridge/E or Ivy Bridge and spend a lot more money when I have a really expensive processor that still is in working condition. 
@Karlitos, did you already sell the EK Rampage III Extreme block? I would have gotten back to you sooner about it, but I have been busy and having this issue occur, I don't think I want to buy another Rampage III board.
