    Sweet! I really like the low profile of the NB....can fit some good insulating material on slot 1 GPU without having to mess with the NB heatsink.

    Nice board with a lot of features. My only "Wish" would have been different placement of the PCIe slots swapping slot 4 and 5, but I am sure it works great for benching.
