Evga X58 Sli ultimate overclocking/ overview/ discussion thread

well, the board arrived yesterday, with corsair ddr-3 2000 memory, gtx-285 and two GSkill SSD (128 gb per) drives that employ 64 mb of cache...i am still short the cpu and 1366 bracket for the TRUE 120.

i am reading the manual and it says the PCIe slots are"reserved" for video cards...i was wondering if the last 16x/8x slot (4th 16x slot) could be used with an Areca 1210 8x Raid PCIe card...anyone seen posts by users employing this card on the 760 version board?...i'll give it a try anyway...first post will be without the card just to confirm the board is working ok.

i get the cpu and diablo memory either today or tomorrow along with the 1366 bracket.

i like the layout of the board, and the manual is easy reading..the only thing i might of wished for is one more fan header.

AND finally, the voltage reading pads are a super idea to keep us guys from shorting out the board trying to read all the various board voltages.
