Wow! You have the better cooler AND that is the re-designed PCB with the 3-phase power. It's a downclocked Sonic! Nice. Congratulations!

Bugger, that means I'm gonna have to cancel my order and get that one instead

You too mate ^_^ :rockout:

I wanted this board because it sounded easier to overclock.. and when comparing it to other Gigabyte P35 boards, the reviews seemed to erm "enjoy" this board more XD

Basically I'm willing to pay for a little better (I think it was £110), although I know a Gigabyte P35 would have been my second choice (a DS4 I think it was)..

I wanted a Maximus Formula as well.. so expensive though :(

Well both cards disappeared from amazon about a week ago, but my order remained active.

Until today
