I guess you haven't heard of a lot of the issues going on with their Z77 line-up? Mainly having to do with BIOS/UEFI.

What issues with their z77 ?? :wtf:

That UEFI sets "secure boot" by default thus preventing dual boots ?

This is probably in reference to adding corsair H110 the cooler to your set up. Here watch this and it may help. Corsair H90 and H110 Installation Guide - YouTube
I believe they are talking about the CPU back plate that came stock on your mobo so you can add the one for the one for the corsair H110 .
