Bolas - good luck with your adventure. It seems you've had your share of issues, but I admire your attitude. Also, good for you to sort out your motherboard and PSU issues before you installed your waterblocks and loop.

It's taken me a while to sit down and read your whole log (I'm one of those that does a quick check every day for pretty photos ). I usually find posts with lots of text a bit offputting, but have to say, I enjoyed reading your saga with my morning coffee. Can't wait to see your finished system, but do take your time. It seems like you're enjoying yourself
