OK, you win the spelling B..lol.

Anyway when i bought this board nobody owned it and i took a chance, so i know how you feel, heat was my main concern too.

For me everything turned out great (thank god, $450 is a Lotta beans )
and i would buy it again.

The RIIE is a good board and love the bios on it,but with 2 GTX295's butt up
against each other my temps were 10c higher on those cards , not to mention they sat right on top of the NB that created more heat .

No board is Perfect, thats life.

BTW, I'm getting a temperature probe this week , cause i really want to know
the numbers on the CS , so if you can wait , ill let ya know.
