Well, Asus say they are cherry picked, not people. Obviously they are the same under the heatsink, visually... And because they're cherry picked, you can get higher clocks. Also, there's plenty of people having the same complaints about the non-top models... I may look into this just before I order everything else, which is in 5 days, but I can't see why Asus would just tell bald lies.

I have a non-top model and it works like a charm. Just avoid the Asus GPU tweak software and you'll be fine, the software is awful and often gives RSOD's. Stick to something like MSI Afterburner (that's what i use) and you'll be golden

I have a TOP model and it works like a charm. I agree with avoiding the GPU tweak software though, I had a RSOD problem with it

Ok guys, thanks for all the advice.

Now the last thing that needs to be cleared is my UPS question. Any thoughts on that? Do you guys have one?

 

[wassupdoc]

I don't have one, correct me if I'm wrong but most decent PSUs have surge protection built in nowadays?

Hey guys,

As the parts are coming in I was wondering - would anyone like me to make individual pictures of the products from all sides and stuff? I found that it's quite hard to find good resolution and quality images of some of the things when I wanted to see them from a specific angle.

I'll definitely make a rig gallery/overview, but if no-one wants the individual pictures I won't bother to spend my time with it...

Hey guys,

Does anyone have a spare CM Storm Trooper drive cage and one of the original 120mm red led fans that come with it? I want to put a third fan in front, but want everything to beautifully match, so didn't want to modify anything really. I know many of you cut the front up and put rads in so maybe someone has these spare.

Thanks
