Alien Grey; Thanks for the advise, I will keep it in mind if I remove the NB cooler on my MF, btw, no full cover block was ever made for the Maximus Formula right? (Is there perhaps an add-on waterblock I can put on my board to "upgrade" my MF to the -SE version?)

Also on the NB clocks do most people find it hard to go much over 400Mhz on the X38 based Maximus Formula?
