EVGA is a strange beast when it comes to MBs. My X58 board (refurbished) had SATA controller driver issues. Though it was Marvell's (SATA controller Mfg) fault, the EVGA board was very sensitive to it. My EVGA Z97 Classified MB is great except for the onboard fan controller. You cannot manually control fans with any form of software (like SpeedFan). Had to use a 3rd party active hardware solution. 1st one I tried was NZXT's but that unit requires internet access before it will allow you to manage fan speeds. My final solution was the mCubed T-Balancer. Works very well but it's a total PITA to set up.

Btw, how's that controller working out for you JPM?
