Nice, I see you have an NZXT H630 Case Also!

Yep. I have an h440 on the way too to make a server and get all of my HDDs out of my main case.
 
I don't think the NZXT cases look great, but they sure know how to make them functional.
 
My only complaint is that a 360mm rad doesn't fit on top with ODDs installed.

Actually, You can use a top mounted 45mm thick 360 radiator with fans on the bottom and JUST manage to squeeze in one ODD on the bottom slot by not using the forward two fan mounting screws.

Board is dead again. I think the NB chip is pretty much shot because heating it up will get it to work for a short period but soon dies.  I wish I could buy just the X58 NB chip from somewhere's.
 
Edit: Found some being sold on aliexpress for $30 a piece so I'll buy one and see if I can replace it.

I'll keep this in mind. I have 2 odds in, but I could step down to one...

I might not be out of the woods yet with the X58A-OC, it goes to splash screen but I'm not getting power to USB keyboard, so it just boot loops. Any ideas?

Still the absolute prettiest card EVGA has ever made. The new Nvidia reference cards are sweet looking too though.

Do you have an old PS/2 keyboard for the PS/2 keyboard port?

Nope! Going to order one today from Amazon or ebay. Do you think the board itself is okay? I figure it probably is a setting in BIOS I need to change more so than a broken USB controller or something.
