Hello! I've got a problem with the above combination. I'm not sure if it's either the CPU at fault or the motherboard at fault, but I am unable to boot to BIOS when I turn it on. All the fans are spinning, just no boot screen. Do I need to flash the BIOS or should it already be compatible? Thanks

The issue: The motherboard is a Maximus VII Hero, so it uses Realtek HD Audio drivers. In the settings, if I use the 'AC97 front panel setting, the headphone and mic port always show something in it. If I switch it to HD Audio, it doesn't show anything in it, even when I plug something into it...

That card is $899 in Australia, whereas the ACX cooler is $859 (on EVGAs card) although I couldn't find the ACX version on pcpartpicker

Would it be worth it to fork out another $100 for the Asus Maximus VI Hero as a mother board, or another $60 for the Gigabyte G1. Sniper Z87 Board?
