It looks 100x better than the early prototypes I had seen. I'm glad they made the acrylic top somewhat translucent.

Decent. How much for one of these blocks? Evga wants too much for theirs right now.

really??? running w/out heatsinks on the ram? do you find that it doesn't effect performance or overclockability? are the rams hot to the touch??? so many questions - lol

Very nice. Whats your water/fan setup, didn't see it mentioned. I'm looking at putting a 280 in a loop with my E8400 so I'm hoping I can dissipate all that heat.

Wanna see some benches, think I got a crappy card, shaders are capping out at 1480Mhz... can run 740Mhz too GPU but have to unlink the shaders to run a 3dmark without artifacts
same, want to see teh benchies :)
that block looks awesome man.
too bad half of us cant afford anything else after buying the actual card :(
