    Can't speak to that. Mine is still in route.

    So is my CPU and RAM .....

    To be honest, I keep flipping back and forth in my mind if I should give the stock Fusion cooling a try. I know it is early in the game, but it will be nice to see how some temps look on a mobo with all the best blocks, vs a stocker running the Fusion.

    We will need a few more boards up and running first to get numbers like that...

    The smart money is on the high end water blocks, but the real question is by how much, and how well the Fusion actually does at cooling.

    Update: My Maximus arrived at the house today!!

    Looks like a beauty, and not a scratch on er.

    From Newegg my Ram, Ram fan, and fan extension cables made it too.....

    It was a good parts day for me.

    I am finishing up wet sanding the primer coat my mobo tray. Things are starting to shape up a bit.
