I have been trying to decide on what motherboard to use with my new i7 build and after seeing the hit or miss issues with the EVGA Classified, I’m back to considering the Rampage II Extreme.
My only issue is that I wanted to stick an X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty sound card in the first PCI-E slot but from looking at pictures of the board it seems that it will be blocked by the heat sink on the X58 chip.
Has anyone here replaced the heat sink with a smaller after market solution? Does anyone have any recommendations?
Are you planning to run tri-sli? I don't think there's a flat enough nb heatsink to not obstruct that pci-e slot.
