Love the look of Asrocks boards, I have a Z68 Extreme7 that should be here Friday

Painting the bridge shouldnt be an issue, although since it flexes it may eventually crack (guess you can just be careful). When I ran a Xfire setup I was tempted to use that imitation carbon fiber wrap that they sell in automotive stores to cover the bridge with. I don't think its too expensive.

Here's what I am talking about: http://www.amazon.com/Trimbrite-T185...0A?ref=prid-20

Amazon has no pics, but if you Google it you can get some photos.

If you some how mess that one up I can send you one of my Xfire bridges- I think I have 4 of them, but have no AMD cards now

Hey Milton180,

You must be using air conditioning to keep those 480's cool cause Nicaragua is not a cold place.

Nope, it's just a big case. The top is a 360 Black Ice Xtreme 3 and the bottom is a 240 XSPC RX. Looking at it, I guess I should do something with the GT sticker on the bottom rad, too. I'm pretty sure I do have some acrylic paint.

Not sure if there will be a revision, this is a limited edition run. Yes that is brushed aluminum formed into diamond plate.

That card should do better than your 480 SLI I think. And at much less power.

More pictures when you get set up.

Don't ya just love how they (MSI) proudly exclaim on the front of the box 3DMark11 ready um really that's not the first thing that comes to my mind when considering a new GPU purchase

how many of you's walk into a shop and ask can it run 3DMark 11

Hi PopcornMachine!!!

so what you say is the Benchmark are almost similar but I sense the speed and fluidity of quality in the images I'm really happy with this purchase! And with respect to power or say as compared to the temperature 480'sy GTX680 in games and in 99% GPU Bench was 63 ° c incredible .... because with the 480's came at 90 ° c lol
