Didn't get much done last night except for insulating and booting into windows. I actually got sidetracked reading the manual. 

  Trying to get familiar with all the LED's - there's a lot of them and they seem to replace post codes when not using the laptop thingy.  And a bunch of "clear CMOS" buttons on the board that aren't "clear CMOS".....
 
Be a few days before freezing.  Gonna try out the laptop thingy and maximize fermi setup before the cold.  Besides, I sold my HX1000 and am stuck with a single CPU plug 750 Silencer until my TPQ 1200 OC arrives tomorrow.....
 
Very nice board design.  LED's, buttons, voltage readouts, LN2 jumper, easy PCIE slot disabling,.....this thing takes a lot of Classified 762 stuff and makes it more accessible while benching and more user friendly.
