Everything I chose here is 100% compatible so no screwy bios functions here. I'm pretty happy with the current build I have no I'm wondering if I just buy the HAF case but I think ill be fine with a cm690 and a Noctua UP12

How do you check if the OCZ ram is good for this board?

I want to OC the whole rig with good temps except for the ram because the i7 is limited to 1600mhz.
Not true...some Boards can handle both 1866 Mhz and 2000 Mhz Memory.

I'm talking about instability of the i7 core not the motherboard. I don't know form personal experiences but people have had issues from ram higher than 1666mhz.
