Yea I miss Abit too, Esp. my Abit NF7-S V2.0. Best board I've had.

Those decorative parts on the top of the VRM sinks (and the SB) look to be removable. I would take them off anyway, to me they make the board look cheesy.

Is the heatsink fan replaceable ??? I've notice rampage too uses small fans ... what if the fans go bad ... ???

Might be better for the thermals aswell to have the surface of the heatsink more exposed
