It is always helpful to read the user guides first before starting the build. Just what is necessary for the building part of the machine. Note: a MB user guide goes into greater details than needed for the initial assembling. Read the necessary part to assemble,then remainder after built for adjusting.

There are quite a few utilities download kits on the ASUS website. Do you know which kit correspond to the CPU temperature program?
Downloaded PC Probe II. Does that look right? The CPU temperature on mine seemed kind of high! No wonder this room feels like a furnace! LOL
On my MSI board (Big Bang XPower), there are 6 x PCIe X16 slots alright but I found that I could only use 4 cards up to x16 and no more.
Yes that is the probe. Different version than I use but same thing. Temps for i7 http://communities.intel.com/thread/4182?wapkw=(normal+temperature+i7) http://communities.intel.com/thread/21563 http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/foru...2500k-core-i7-2600k-processors-review-20.html
