    Wow, amazing results!

    That said, you now need an ITX case......

    Great results there from that little beast. Thats trading blows nicely with full ATX boards, very impressed.

    That 2600k of yours is a decent little chip though, its a happy clocker!

    Do you run the GT 1850's at full whack or on reduced voltage?

    I found with my H50 that two GT 1850's made no temperature difference compared to two GT 1450's but were louder. I think it was because I reached the limit of what the rad can dissipate with the two GT 1450's.

    This is a little beauty!

    I've been reading more and more about ITX and I'm becoming curious, however I don't know what the real difference is between that and full ATX to know whether or not to go for one in my new build, hmph.

    Great stuff!

    Not a problem, the photos are of a good quality and really bring out a nice look

    If you don't mind I'll PM you, in order to reduce the amount of slightly off-topic posts that will be created, wouldn't want to detract the thread!

    Sexual, looks awesome!

    So, so jealous...

    Glad its a good little overclocker - I knew from the 1st moment she caught my eye across a busy thread all those many months ago that she would be a beauty.

    Think you will get an ITX case?

    Looking at my spreadsheet, by the time I can afford to switch to ITX and buy this, you'll probably want to upgrade to X99 so i'll have it off you then!

    Come on step it up Asus, why can't you out-value the ASRock?

    The non-Deluxe is a cheaper version! But why would anyone want a race to the bottom? It might benefit the consumer this time, but next time and the time after it erodes R&D budgets, which affects quality, compatibility and things like UEFI development :)

    Look at the memory market for example: there used to be many companies but now just 2-3 major manufacturers. Given the epic price drops of NAND, I wonder if the SSD market will go the same way?

    To be honest, UEFI is something which is just so much quicker on ASRock. What i mean is that my ASRock Z68M-ITX is booting the OS long before the red ROG boot screen shows up at my Gene-Z.

    What I will say though, is that ASRock's UEFI/BIOSes are paltry compared to Asus or equivalents.

    Interesting, my main rig (as in sig) goes from pressing the power button to the login prompt in around 40 seconds, mainly because of the Marvel 6GB/s controller element in the BIOS slowing it down.

    My gaming rig (again as sig below) is 30 seconds from pressing the power button to the login prompt.

    What is your meaning of "usable"?

    31 seconds from pressing the power button to that is impressive, it probably takes me 30 seconds just to type in my password without my fat fingers causing a typo...:D.

    Nice one!

    Just from what's been said in regards Asrock ATX I may give it a though when I upgrade to Z77 in a month or so's time. Plus the black mobo is quite sexy!

    Cause a mini-ITX board doesn't have extra USB or SATA BIOS' to boot :p
