I think I am going with 4870x2. I am not changing card actually. I got it on Nov 08, and returned to Amazon right before I left for vacation. And a month later, it dropped $100. Power of capitalism!

But having a X58 and not going multi cards makes me feel like wasting resource.

4870x2 will cost me roughly $375, definitely the best performance, but the driver might be a problem. Also the Nvidia cards are more OCable.

I will have to wait a little to see which card brings up the best deal.

yup you should stick with 4870X2, i guess that card can hold about 1 or 2 years (if your not gamer enthusiast)...besides you already have the block for it...nice price you have there for 4870X2...the cheapest 4870X2 here is about 500+....expensive...yes it is, i do live in very very expensive country

nice changement so far, i also have a armor like you have with a 360 & 240 rad in it. They are kinda small to work in don't you think? luckey i got my mountainmods case waiting

good luck

Considering how poor US is now, I can't disagree.

Armor is actually a very roomy case if you stretch your imagination . MM on the other hand is just humongous.

Nice job! Waaaaay better paint skills than mine and related to the holes in the mb tray ... you could use something like this: way more control than with the dremel

What is this? Some kind of cutting guide?

I just got the long waited bloodrage, sadly it's broken have to ship it back for replacement. I got to say this is the best looking board that I ever seen.

The pictures speak louder than words .

[tgm_of_xxl]

It's called hand scroll saw.

[omaryunus]

whats happened with the bloodrage? why you have to send it back?? and that mobo was made for your build :p it just blends right into the case :p PERFECT choice and personally the only board I would buy IF i went i7 would be this one its sooo sexy :p congrats

[WhiteFireDragon]

haha seeing a stock heatsink on XS looks very awkward :P

yeah i'm curious what happened to the mobo as well

SPDIF socket broken during shipping most likely.



Not that I will ever use it but I still like to get the everything I paid for .

Any info on when Newegg will have new stock?

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

please tell me you didn't use the stock thermal paste on the intel HSF....

[exe163]

What's wrong with stock paste for testing the board ?

Actually I used the cleaner 1 + 2 (made by artic, forgot name) to wipe it off and applied MX2 under it. How's the Auzentech Forte btw snipe? I am picking between that and Asus essence. Essence seems like a more complete package.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

the forte is amazing, completely top of the line and makes me want to toss my ipod out the window and you should definitely research before you go with the asus card, all I hear about the asus sound line is problems

[WhiteFireDragon]

i'm just going to necropost right now. exe163, any updates to your project? i've been following this to see the end results of the armor, but this projects seems frozen. i'm about to start my armor project hopefully soon.

Actually, every review I have seen online has had their board came out of the box with a broken spdif....I think Foxconn designed the packaging incorrectly
