Really want to build another rig, already on auto notify on Nvidia store. Question regards FTW vs Dark, do I really need the latter? Really down to whether FTW will OC the same and have good VRM temps.

Corsair 5000D Airflow | EVGA 1000 G6 | EVGA X570 FTW | Ryzen 5800X | EVGA 360 CLC | Corsair 4000MHz 32GB|
Corsair MP600 2TB | EVGA 3080 Ti FTW Hybrid | Alienware AW2721D | Windows 11

    Dark will be the better board but the FTW is also a great board.

    Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.

    Ok, I'll wait a little while longer. But will go for the other if not available soon.

    Another rig to do what, exactly?  The Dark is certainly eye candy ; not that there is anything wrong with that.  It just seems like a whole lot of hardware for only 16 CPU lanes.

    Right... so am I buying dark for looks?  how likely that FTW would get me the same or close to the same performance?
