Rate the Wire Management Above You!

So, I checked temps last night and it's running low 40's idle and low 60's to high 50's load. That's stock. When I get the TRUE on there then I'll see what OC temps look like. With this board though they recommend a downward airflow CPU cooler, if not then there needs to be a 50mm fan on the chipset, which will dissipate air through the other components.
 
Quick update. I got the TRUE on there with two Xigmatek XLF-F1253 fans in push-pull. Temps are good at stock and also at 4.5 GHz. I'll be pushing it up to 5.0 or higher, hopefully, this weekend when I have some time.

I'm pretty impressed so far with how well the motherboard is distributing the airflow. It's recommended to use a 50mm fan on the chipset if not using a downward blowing CPU cooler, but so far I haven't had much of an issue as you can see.
