No, but it's the same model. OCZ sent Intel some stuff to play with, like 300 pcs of their cooling paste:

No no Sampsa.. Marcus and Tim is really using their mobos wrong way round. For me Tweakit is on wrong side of the motherboard.. I have to learn to use is differently ;)

Thank you, I'm working on it :D

You need to turn the board around, or reach over it :)

We should have a poll on the issue :)

Bloody lefties :P

Why would you bench your system with the cables and I/O pointing at you? :crazymuthafarkers:

Duh, so you can plug in your thumb drive and the card flanges hang over the end of the table! Why would you go the other way, so you can keep your ram company or what? :p:

Haha that is a good argument :D

But like Tim I prefer to have all the cables facing away from me for some reason, less mess around your keyboard and mouse area I guess :)

I prefer to be able to access my video cards at the action end, get in and around the RAM and socket areas when required, and have all my cables out the back behind the desk where they should be.

Poll time

Cabled TweakIt would resolve the "issue" easily :D ( Front panel "device"-like )

I bench with the cables either towards the back or to the left so I can pour LN2 with my right hand and use tweak-it with my left. Cables facing me is just.. strange.

Where's captain overkill to say:

"Wires ? What wires. I bench wireless" :p:
