Agreed. I just wish they would at least give us more details. August is one of the longest months of the year; when can we actually expect these at our doors. Between 1st-10th, 10th-20th, 20th-31st?! Or sometime in early September?

how does the k-boost feature  work on this case is there a connector or something and what motherboards and cards will support the k-boost feature with this case

Hasn't been said yet, but I'm sure it connects to the board using one of the USB headers. Then you install the DG tuner software found here http://www.evga.com/software/. While the DG tuner software is running you simply push the K button to run your CPU and GPU in OC mode (sets CPU and GPU to max clocks and keeps them there). It also sets your fans to 100% when turned on and 50% when turned off by default.
 
 

From what ive heard, all it does is change windows power profiles.
Personally im hoping I can somehow map that button for something else. :p
I might even just hard wire that button as a power button for a hidden raspberry Pi.

uh what.

it is for one-button jumping between a default "quiet" profile and an overclocked profile in EVGA Precision. (like a physical fan controller for your whole pc)

So it has absolutely no purpose unless you have EVGA for everything?
Alright, ill sharpen the wire clippers before it gets here then.

I mean, the only thing you need is the EVGA Precision afaik. (as opposed to using MSI Afterburner)

So your PC boots and runs normally without an OC to cut down on power usage, heat etc. And then when gaming time hits, you press the button and BAM she's throttled up 100% max OC and ready to fire.


but yeah if you're not interested in that functionality turn it into w/e you like I suppose!

I'm going to assume this button only has a purpose if you have EVGA hardware in it?
If so, for most of us that button is gonna be quite useless indeed.
Unless EVGA software is somehow cross compatible with competitor brands, in that case its a different story.
 
Not entirely sure why its necessary to toggle it though.
Don't CPUs and GPUs already downclock on low loads on their own anyway?
