After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

Here is one of those X58's running with the passive chipset cooler installed.
The next stop on our "Hotel Hell" tour is right across the street but will literally take us 30min to get there. First a quick elevator ride down 30+ floors, and a brisk walk thru 2 Casinos, out to the side walk to take the skywalk across the street and then do the reverse to get to our destination.
