I just got my new 9950 BE.. but there was no Spider to go along with the system...LOL...My Gigabyte 790gx board is still in RMA process.. all I have is a 780g to test it on..I just flashed the bios on the Sapphire 780g and it reads CPU temp on the LED's.. shows 34*c on stock clocks...this board is not OC friendly.. although the new bios does have an AOD compatiblity option now.
