i unpacked this board looking at it today at the store. The NB is crazy tilted at an angle off the die. its pretty weird, i wonder how much of a effect it would have. i would imagine prretty poor temps in that condition. Will be replacing stock cooling though for some active.

pickin this puppy up tommrow, better be all its cracked up to be. at this point, as long as the thing boots, sees my SATA drives, and runs i'll be happy.
