That Sapphire looks sooo sexy too..only makes me want mine sooner!I considered the N-12 for my next build but opted for the louder yet more aesthetically pleasing (not to mention better clearance for RAM heat spreaders) CPNS9900 Max Red LED. Going for 2 HD 7970's (Sapphire just like the one you're got) on a Asus ROG board with the HAF 932 Advanced case. Should look awesome.

Thank you mate, I owe you one

Know what, I almost purchased a couple 7970s a couple of months ago, it's a very fast card and trades punches with my cards at the resolution I play, the only problem is my monitors aren't supported by the 7970 for 3D unless I use HDMI, then I would have to run at 24Hz due to 1.4 spec limitations

Little bit of a preview
![]() Anyone know where I could get a little adapter to go from that large USB 3.0 header to 2.0? If I could get one of those I could utilize all 4 USB ports on this Switch. I can't right now, since half are USB 3.0 and my motherboard is old sauce. |

That case is badass! Nice joe! Very clean looking man!
If I ever go back to a case setup, that is THE case I plan to go with, so many options available in the Switch.

![]() Still though, you dont need that 580 in there as Physx as the two 680's will handle it fine. That 580 is there sucking up energy for no real reason at all. Read my previous post in regards to your physx link you gave me.

I don't think I'll sell them yet, I've been think and I decided I'll trade my 480s for a couple 680s using the step up program from EVGA once they are available, and keep my 580s for the HTPCs, thanks for asking though
