As an aside, does anyone know of a better passive heatsink for the chipset than the one above? I hear that the fan on this board is loud as HELL and I want my system to be as quiet as possible (the loudest fan will be the one on the video card, by far) but I don't want to fry the chipset. I may also get a 3ware RAID controller (I'm not sure yet) which would add another $302+change to the bill. Good god. That's like 1/8th my annual paycheque. On the upside, all my parts are coming from one place: Newegg.
Yes, it’s my fault.
