Yeah, I'm pretty stoked. I thought it would be fine, but there was definitely some concern that it would boot up to the vendor lock error. There were a few oddities I need to work through. The fan headers are too far from the CPU's for the Noctua HSF to reach it without using the low noise adapter as an extension, so I think I need to buy a fan header extension. I basically was just throwing it all together to make sure it detected the CPU's. The I/O plate for the motherboard is also the worst quality one I've ever used, and it doesn't line up correctly without bending fairly bad. I may attempt to reseat that later. Incredible on a $700+ motherboard though

There's also an addition 8 pin CPU power connector where the fan headers are(in addition to the 2 at the top of the motherboard) but I'm assuming I don't need that unless I'm using a ton of super high RPM/high amperage fans?
It also gave an error on 2 of my RAM sticks, but they were just random sticks of RAM I pulled out of a dual socket Xeon here. I'm hoping it's not something more like me having bent one of the socket pins or something, but I'm going to order all the RAM and see what happens. I need to figure out cooling for the VRM's as well - I'm thinking just cable tie a couple 80MM fans over that area but I haven't gotten that far yet.
