Thanks Roger...I just took a look at the first page and after looking at the pics, realized that my memory's heatsinks would be in conflict with the Thermalright heatsink...for the longest, I've just popped my memory into the first slots...I guess it just became habbit after doing it for so long...I can't wait to play with this board tonight with regular air-cooling...then in a few weeks everything goes into a custom phase change system being built for me...should be a lot of fun with my 9770 that has been sitting in me bedroom unopened for 2 months now.
