Does not run stinking hot like my 680i mobo Overall a very nice board with silent cooling that does not run steaming hot! If you want SLi though this is not the board for you. Regards Coolur

What are you spending the extra money on with the really expensive boards? Is it all that extra heatpipe stuff and watercooled NB's? I mean don't just quote me some marketing guff but highlight some benefits that have real world use?
