As mentioned a few posts back, I needed to send back the Sabertooth MB. I didn't want to let this computer set all broke, so I was going to buy a cheap MB to run while waiting to see if the will be any more Sabertooths released with fixed USB 3.0/3.1 hardware. Looked but really not impressed at all with what I found. I was really wishing my CHVFZ was usable and decided to look at it more closely to just see what I could see. That motherboard did have a waterblock on it, which I have put away, so I just put my magnifiers on and started looking really close as the problems I were having were soft of "on again, off again" with no real reason for this other then flaky components being most probable. I used the heatsink pads that came with waterblock for mounting and I could see bits of that and some bits of TIM around some of the mosfet/VRM's and I just started to wonder what would happen if I cleaned this MB up and installed the stock heat spreaders back and try it out again. Well, I did and I'm using it right now. Been a couple of days and I played with OC'ing a bit and it seems fine to me. Still using the single 120 push/pull rad, so can't go too far, but it's nice and stable @ 4.65GHz with 1.416v. That gives me 64° on Prime95 for at least an hour which is harder then I will use this computer most likely. And I have my 3.0 USB working just fine, so I'm actually pretty happy about it.
