1st
The MOBO that I received was a dud and I am ready to replace it with something of equal or greater value.
(no I did not return it when I got it because the essentials worked. the ethernet does not work on it though.)

2nd
When I built my rig and ran a test to look at my graphics it came back horrible! I was told by a few people on here to update firmware and all that good stuff so I did. After doing this it had a much better score but the graphics card starts running hot really really fast. At times during the test and when I "try" to run cyrsis with certain settings the card(I think) starts making a whining noise. I was told that with this rig, I should be able to run crysis at max settings with relative ease. Well I can but it makes the noise and after about 30-45 mins the computer freezes(the temps also get really hot, imo).
3rd
I am wanting to get either a new case with better airflow or a better heatsink or both.
I do not want my rig frying due to heat. The room I keep it in usually stays warm(not hot) due to poor AC.
Thanks
