Well my build is almost complete I have only a few little things left to do hide wires & stuff. I was playing with nvidia's new beta drivers 337.50 with my kpe vga's and I can only say wow the performance is great did just a little benching I'm very impressed with the cards, They blow my 690 out of the water all on stock bios.

My R4BE is using 0507 bios with a ratio of 46 a 4930K, memory is set manually 2133 with all those rads the temps at 23-25c. I use intel burn & prime95 run them 20 mins. temps 56-58c. this rig runs great by far the best mobo i've ever owned asus did a really great job on this board.

yes that took long enough very happy to see things running so good. Really nice board the 900d well it's too big I like the fact it takes 480 rads with room to spare. Has 3 rads and the temps are awesome.

Hey abvolt that looks great and no leaks for the first time going liquid. You did an awesome job and your temps prove it. Now all you have to do is update your sig.:D
