I bought the same CPU + motherboard combo! I was wondering, did you run into any compatibility issues when running a Linux distro? (with sound card, ethernet etc.) - I've already read about the preliminary hardware support flag for the Intel GPU.

Uhm, can I somehow skip the GPU tests? I want to compare my i5-2500 to the 6600, but don't care about the graphics tests...

set environment variable: NO_GRAPHICS_TESTS=1 would be the easiest way.
