I paid $280 for the eVGA i680 from Fry's a week ago. After disappearing network ports, slower stable oc then my DS3, 15 degrees hotter case, slow RAID issues and random lock ups without any kind of error message, I returned it to Fry's. I didn't feel like play testing this too-expensive beast any more. When I returned it the clerk didn't ask me one question about it, just printed up and slapped on a reduced price of $228 on it. I almost asked to have the board back to buy it again so I could offer it to anyone who wanted to deal with the issues (maybe new bios revision would help?) - but decided I would probably be wasting my time. If anyone is in the Oxnard area and interested it will probably be on the floor tomorrow (Nov 22nd).
 
might be worth your time if you want to deal with it. I'm back in business and loving 3ghz on the DS3.
