Alright an update!! I returned the 790i Motherboard... and picked up the EVGA X58!! with the intel I7 920 chip! I should have everything up and running next weekend, i'm soo stoked. I bought 4 more fans for the side panel to replae the giant one, got a samsung dvd drive, zal fan controller, vista ultimate 64 bit is sitting here, my DDR3 corsair 1600mhz ram, and a whole bunch of other goodies are awaiting the final installation. I already tested the liquid cool for leaks and there is nothing! so thumbs up to that. just waiting for the fitting to come in so i can get rid of the wimpy green lines.. Anywho, pics will be up tommorrow.
