Hardware is in. Installing W7 64 atm. Somehow i could not get it to flash the newest bios from usb.
I formatted it to FAT32 copied the bios file but i does not recognize it. Says there is no suitable file on the drive. Will look into it when i have it up and running.

Installed everything. Just played some BF3. Pfew. I'm glad i upgraded. That was sick.
Bios looks nice! Set it at 4.4Ghz out of the box. Everything on auto. Just set ram to 1600Mhz and that's it.
Ran Prime for 1 hour. Temps go up to 70. Kinda high? (Brought the voltage back to 1.28 temps dropped to 62 on load.)
Btw is it normal that the board makes so much noise?

Fixed the bios issue. Had to extract the file. Then copy to usb hd.:D
