I would have to say that my very first 790i ultra board was a POS, it could not even make it through bios setup, as far as i am concerned after i rma this piece I am going back to asus, evga should just stick to vid cards, and i should just keep buying asus

Replace the NB fan. It is loud! Cobble on a 60mm fan to the HS
