It was long enough to route through the back (I've got a Gene-Z also)? Not for the one I received from pc-performance... Though the original was long enough. I guess I'll scrape off that gunk and use the original HD Audio Cable.
Indeed. Though be forewarned, the HD Audio cable is shorter than the original... I was routing the cable through the rear of the case to make things much tidier, but not so with the new able, gotta route it over the board and under the videocards..
Here's my build. Tried routing the power cable through that small slot for the PCI-E cords, but it doesn't fit :(
Specs:
Asus Maximus IV Gene-Z
Intel 2500k @ 4.6GHz
Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme w/ 1155 bolt through kit *** NOTE YOU GOTTA HACK OFF THE MOUNT BRACKET TO GET TO CLEAR THE CAPS ON...
Avoid launch day, always.
I ordered my 2500K w/ P8P67 Pro for 340 + tax at 7:30am this morning, got the confirmation email at 9:30am and headed out at 12noon. Awesome drive on the GSP, super light traffic, got my stuff, verified the serial # on the mobo matched the box and I was out within 10...
Well, you don't need a graphics card for the 2600K either.... If you've got a H67 mobo... Then again getting a 2600K for the extra 12 EUs is kinda crazy!
Slower "PPD" than the CUDA cards, because those were optimized for speed rather than stability... Check the F@H forums.

Have you seen the core size for the R600? It's jinormus!
Not only that it required an 8 pin PCIe power connector and a 6 pin PCIe connector.
So in total, 75W for the slot, 75W for the 6pin, and 150W from the 8pin, the Videocard can pull a max 300W. Crossfire, 600W for Video alone! Not...
Considering the 3870 is really just a die shrink version of the 2900 cards, ofcourse it would be a huge performance jump, esp with AA enabled.
Call me stupid when I bought a 2900 Pro at release for $250... Now this 4850 strolls along for $150, insane. It's going to be a cold winter without...
I don't trust Thermaltake products.
Thermalright all the way.
Going to wait for this:
