Hey AHowes,
 
i just read the Consumers Protection Act for us Canadians...
"
Late delivery26. (1) A consumer may cancel a future performance agreement at any time before delivery under the agreement or the commencement of performance under the agreement if the supplier,
(a) does not make delivery within 30 days after the delivery date specified in the agreement or an amended delivery date agreed to by the consumer in writing; or
(b) does not begin performance of his, her or its obligations within 30 days after the commencement date specified in the agreement or an amended commencement date agreed to by the consumer in writing.  2002, c. 30, Sched. A, s. 26 (1).

So if they don't return my pc with a working motherboard let's say from Oct 17th 2016 to Nov 17th 2016. I have the right to ask for a refund for the motherboard...correct?

Sounds like it.. maybe should mention it to them as leverage for them to give you your asus rampage v 10th edition as they originally said they would..

Though I'd be prepared to get your pc back and buy your own board and install the cpu yourself and os and everything else..

Though would think they would just get you the mb you wanted insted of having you wait this long for the returned one.

Or maybe just get a flat refund for the whole thing?

oh i've given them the whole nine yards today ..haha! i told them to do whatever they want, keep them busy with other **** but as a reminder i have given you 30 days to get my my pc back in full working condition with a working mobo or i demand a full refund. he said that oh i'll speak with my owner. i told him to do as you wish and make sure of it and i will not call you daily but remind you every end week of it :)
 
the dude was tripping on the phone haha!

btw..... i am wondering if i am 'bottlenecking' my pc since i have dual gtx1080 ftw running on i7 6800k 6core. i have yet to try along with my 64gigs of mem ram....WHEN i get my pc back... lol. but i'm just curious if i need to switch to 8core... :/
 
 

I doubt it.. not happening with my quad core 6700k. With the 8 core 40 lane cpu you can run ea card at x16 x16 insted of x8 x8 which most will say isint a difference.

In gaming max cpu speed matters most. I believe the 8 core 6850k will run a little less then the 6800k. You would have to move up to the 6900k to get the speed up on the cores.

I think your in the sweet spot now but yeah with all that ram and getting 40 lanes with the 6850 I'd grab that and overclock it :)

No way.  There is no bottleneck there.

That's quick access roads from the pcie slots directly to the cpu. Your 6800k has 20 lanes i believe. So with your dual graphics card working at 8 lanes ea is 16 lanes total so you have 4 lanes left for expansion for extra cards as in sound cards, nic or ssd or raid cards that use x4.

So if you had a 6850k,6900k or the crazy priced 6950k, those have 40 lanes. You could run both vga cards at x16 ea for 32 total and have 8 lanes left over or run them at 8 ea for 16 total and have 16 lanes left to use.

All that's only important if you need more lanes.. if not, your fine.

ohhhh i see!! i just checked my CPU and it offers 28lanes. so i have 2 vgas that's 16 already. leaving me with 12. i have 2 ssd cards installed and a pcie for asus 3.1 usb slot which came with the mobo....that should leave me now with 0 since ssd cards and 1 pce usb slot take 4 each right? does that mean i can no longer add ssd cards? i also have 1 hdd added of 2tb....
