honestly, it's probably for the best. I remember when quads first came out and the 680i was teriible at clocking them, EVGA gave out free new revision boards... Then, when 780i hit, EVGA gave a $70 upgrade path to it from the old 680s.

Can't say I ever remember Asus taking care of it's customers so well. So the bottom line is that the Asus is gonna cost $150 more (and will have more bling) and the EVGA board is gonna take care of me if anything goes wrong.

I think the EVGA is the smart purchase at this point
(do we all appreciate how I'm justifying the EVGA purchase since I was too damn impatient to wait for the Striker???)
I agree but wish that the EVGA board had 8 phase power, not 6...not a deal breaker, but if you intend on doing some heavy duty OC, 8 phase is the only way IMO.
