Stuff arrived already - that was quick!
The new mother board (EVGA SLI x58 Classified - copper core) is very nice! Easy to work with.
I got it installed, with the water cooling and everything booted up fine!
I went slow, took my time and hooked everything back up.
I still need to update drives and run some system test, but it was late and I was falling asleep in my chair! Oops!
The main video card (GeForce GTX 280) is running very hot. I need to update the drivers and maybe manually set the cooling fan higher.
If it was not so damm loud I would just crank it up to 100 and leave it there.
I think part of the problem was the CPU fan was right by the video card air intake, that could not have helped. The water cooling fixes that issue as well.
