Simply bad ass!! I wonder if this board will suffer the same rate as others have when paired up with a 5950X?!?

I'd love to see this board reviewed with just that CPU. Truly want to know how that power delivery is setup to handle the big dog CPU's.

Looking for a small form factor custom liquid build for my daughter's first setup. I figure it should be as good as both mine if not better in some areas if it's to last four plus years....

Keep up the killer work here at Guru3D guys!! Thank you so much for being around and doing/giving what you all do.

Happy holidays to everyone!.!.!.!
