Yippee!!!...i got my GA-8KNXP today, and the great news is it's revision 2.1
!!
But can anyone tell me how revision 2.1 differs from 2.0?
I also noticed that the USB 2.0 backplate only has two ports???
I thought it was supposed to be a 4-port USB backplate and a separte plate
for the Firewaire ports?
Anyone know where i could buy an additional backplate as i already use 7 USB
ports on my current PC.
Now some questions, the Northbridge cooler...how do i remove it?, is it
stuck to the 875P chip, how is it attached?, paste?, adhesive?
I plan to take it of and install a Microcool Northpole,

I also got the Southpole passive heatsink, has anyone used this motherboard
in conjunction with the Thermalright SP-94?

I have this also with some Arctic Silver 5 and a 92mm Vantec Tornado. I was
wondering if there is any installation problems i should be aware of?

Such as interference with the Northbridge or the DPS2 power module?
Any advice is much appreciate, thank you.
