    Don't forget that it comes with a GTX 680 PCB and not the tiny 670 PCB.

    Which is a complete non-issue lol. Well, provided coolingconfigurator even has it listed.
    EDIT: It does. But not under "GTX 670"; it's called GIGABYTE GV-N670OC-2GD rev.1.0

    So for all those who asked, here it is, Gigabyte's take on NVIDIA's second-fastest single-GPU graphics card. Look familiar? It should, as it uses an identical design to the company's GeForce GTX 680.

    What you're looking at is essentially Gigabyte's GeForce GTX 680 OC with a different core; at the heart of this beast, the GTX 680 chip (GK104-400) has been replaced with the pin-compatible GTX 670 part (GK104-325).

    There's nothing inherently wrong with borrowing the GTX 680 PCB, but Gigabyte's card isn't well disguised. Look just above the PCIe interface and you'll see the sticker that's used to cover up the card's original 'GV-N680OC-2GD' branding. Applying a sticker is cheaper than creating a whole new PCB, but it can leave a sour taste in the mouth of the consumer and the sticker serves only to remind you of the top-end GTX 680 you could have bought.

    Weellllll it's apparent you guys didn't know he had two 590s before.

    Plus he has a 3960X, upgraded from a 990X.

    Oh and an Asus Xonar Essence One. (USB DAC Amp.)

    We get used to Cyanotical.

    Well, it says right on sites like Newegg it supports up to 64GB of RAM.

    My only gripe with 8GB sticks is how expensive they still are, especially if you desire high frequency and perhaps low CAS latency RAM.

    Maybe not too OT but anyone got/looking to get the logitech G600? I've preordered mine(sadly not released here yet) and from what I've read about it and whatnot it seems pretty good.

    Maybe, after this naga dies. I already can't reliably scroll a selected way (sometimes at random goes to the opposite way).
    But i do intend to use it for a little longer..

    I've considered getting a naga, but after hearing multiple accounts of the naga having crap build quality and just breaking very quickly so I pre-ordered the logitech.
