Well I do see a digital PWM and theres a picture of the EVBot plugin on the board. So EVGA is definitely pushing toward overclocking abilities with the board.

It's all coming down to just how well it overclocks I guess.. and of course if 4-way full 2.0 PCi-E is supported. I wish it were 3.0, then it may be a good investment.

don't really matter if they are plagued with the in and out memory channel. or disappearing memory channel...boot with 6 gigs of ram then go into windows and you have 4 gigs.

edit: yeah, that was a major drawback there...no 3.0 anything on this board....
gigabyte has a 3.0 everything board coming out...i would have thought evga would as well..meaning at the same time...not 3 months behind the competion

Well nothing is 100% right now though, we can only speculate. Shamino is on board and I'm assuming this is something he had a hand in.. so maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised.

Overall I thought the Classy release last year was pretty cool it didn't let me down.

Overall I thought the Classy release last year was pretty cool it didn't let me down.<-- it didn't let me down either..till the memory channels kept going out.c


and as for fermi cards...june is quite a long time to wait (speculation of course)

I never got that far I guess since I'm still waiting on my chiller..

Yea I'm sort of waiting on the Fermi's.. and I may opt out of that if some good deals pop up on the ATI cards. Even if the Fermi's drop in March I'm sure they'll be out of stock or impossible to get for months.. and of course bring in above msrp prices.

Nvidia couldn't even deliver reference 295's consistently.. I'd like to think the 380's will be easier to attain.

well, that's kind of what i did..got an ati card to hold me over till i can see what the fermi's are going to do.

and i totally forgot you we're still waiting on a chiller

Sort of I have some older pic's the case in these wasn't bolted together and the t-stat, and led/cathode colors are different in some of them but gives a better look at the big boxy thing. There's some addons that bolt onto the housing also that will change it a lot, I'll have to show those whenever I get it.
