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.
Thanks. I'm just honestly surprised that stock cooling solution works that well, particularly for overclocking. You see these massive heatsinks on other boards with 1 NF200 or none at all and they still get hot. Then you see this massive board with two NF200's on it and such a low profile heatsink and have to wonder

But hey, if it works it works. Making a waterblock for that board would be a b*tch though.

Here's another question though. Do you have any problems with RAM in the last or second to last slot getting warmer with one of the heatpipes ending right next to it?
