looks like the hicookie designed orange oc board is getting closer to production 

Interesting board for sure. Won't be replacing my E762 though lol.

lol yeah the E762 is a monster board  wont be replacing mine either 

I am just hoping that they let hicookie do something like this for socket 2011 I can see it being a great benching board but I would never use anything like this for daily use, now if I would just learn not to dislike gigabyte bios's so much then it might be a possibility 
 
I also have to say that using the 2 sata power connectors on the side of the board to provide power to the pcie lanes was a pretty sweet idea for cable management I can see that being used on a lot of boards
 
and I also want to see the air cooler that fits over that heatsink 

the gigabyte board is made for setting world records not like the ud7, ud5 or any evga boards. using this board without subzero cooling will be pointless.

Its neat that companies employ top level overclockers to help in board design, but its only a small number of computer users actually overclock.  If only everyone needed high bclks :P

this could be said about blocks as well...

is the only way to bypass the max 1138mV voltage setting for my gtx480 to use a custom bios? I tried AfterburnerVoltUnlock, and i could slide the slider higher up, but it would set back to 1138 when i applied.
 
At 1138mV and 100% fan, my 480 is barely even touching 75*C in Vantage, and probably only 70*C in 06; so i figure a bit more voltage won't hurt.
 
Oh, but are custom bios allowed in Forum Warz? I didn't see anything forbidding them, only modded drivers, not modded bios.

 You would have to mod your bios, pretty easy to do using nibeditor 5.9 or above.
A modded bios I think would be allowed, you still have to use the hardware. Also there would be no way to know if a bios was modded. Aren't you "modding" you bios on your mother board when you change a setting from default? All you would be doing is increasing the amount of voltage allowed to be adjusted to.
