Quick question. I'm using a 3080 with my 9900x. Do I still need to install the Amd driver for the igpu?

Quick answer: No

Shouldn't need to.

I think the Nova is very similar to this board. I almost picked this one up.

Have new water block OTW. Man I hate acrylic tubing now. All because no VRM water cooling. Wonder if there are any universal Heatkiller ones that would fit?

EDIT: M.2 will be either next week, if I can go 8TB, or maybe before on a 4TB.
Any suggestions, on some of the Team Group drives or less expensive ones vs the SS 990 pro or WD Black SNX850 870? I don't recall the secondary number.

Yeah it has some improvements (and increased costs) better VRM, better audio codec, Wi-Fi 7, newer chipset, USB4 but I don't think they'll do "value" X870E boards, so the Nova is probably the closest.
