    Nice (if way over the top for my needs) set of features.

    Although I wish Gigabyte would ditch their joke chipset cooling and just reduce the price of the board. I assume they are still using their totally inept design where the heat is transferred from the bottom half of the northbridge cooler to the top half via a few tiny metal fins:



    So that waterblock and all that ridiculous attachable heat-pipe stuff is just 100% pointless.
