I rebooted and the fan started...
Could someone tell me if the North Bridge (ATI - the one next to the CPU) has a fan or is it passively cooled with a Heat Sink?
The Pictures at NewEgg show what appears to be a Heat Sink...
but in Anand review pictures (a preview Mobo version without a doubt - dimms are all black- no Blue)...

ANy thoughts? Please!

After reading about all the issues and problems people are having with the SLI board ... I am removing it from consideration!
I have 2 questions though, and I appreciate honest answers!
