3 x 8 pin pcie power plugs???

Nah man.

The cooler pweety though.

^^Thought it was just me... like a guy said on that page, "it will require a small nuclear reactor to power it" wonder what those requirements really are.

[Elyon]

well it has 2 gtx 680 cores on it plus 8gb gddr5 and those 680's are going to be overclocked, so 3 eight pins sound a little weak to me considering reference gtx 680's use 2 six pins but asus's gtx 680's direct cu ii's use an 8+6 besides this thing is aimed to outperform two 680's in sli...

I agree also HCCA the cooler looks pretty always loved asus's rog colorscheme but something like that should have a full liquid cooling bracket like EVGA hydro copper stuff.

corsair. If you look at reviews vertex ssd works gr8 but not for long. They have lots of BOSD issues with them as well. Corsair isn't the best either but much better than ocz.

Could personally vouch for the corsair, mines running BSOD free since Nov '11. Very solid performing ssd. You could also look @ the Samsung 830 / Intel 520 series if you looking for some of the best.

Anyone into transformers? You know they have a history of really bad games, in my opinion anyway. But the newest one is pretty good, like the classic one the older ones would know. check out meh gameplay:

I agree... for a transformers game it was classic. And yeah too short, at least there's online play

I dont play anything beside LoL and SOFII now. I still play some cod4 sometimes and used to MW2. Bought MW3 and hated it, played it twice. I think I'll download a cracked copy of this. Not paying $60 on steam for it lol.

Steam does have plenty sales throughout the year so u can get games dirt cheap.

Hoping to get some this year end for my collection.

So true. I bought Fallout 3 GOTY edition for $5 on steam summer sale.
Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition $10

Elder Scroll 4 Oblivion GOTY Deluxe Edition. Countless DLC yuh cah done play that. Paid $7

Paid $7 for the Entire GTA 4 collection.

Its nice that steam manages all the patches and gives you hours play time etc. Can't see myself bothering to hunt down crack and torrent when steam is so cheap and convenient. Not to mention steam cloud and ability to play games anywhere on any PC without having to walk around with DVD or external HDD etc.

I waited for xmas to come just after the release of MW3 cuz I just knew there would be a sale and lo and behold I got it for $45 lol. Only way I'll buy this Transformers game is if the online play is any bit decent and if I know anyone who plays online. I think I too lazy to really care about any new games tho, getting this cuz it looking pretty cool and well I like transformers lol.

Yeah steam is a great service. Only bought MW2 and MW3 off it. And no hunting required, I got it in less than 1 minute, literally lol. Its downloading right now.

Well if you like Transformers you'll like this game. Honestly every single Trans game, i hated. But fall of cybertron and war for cybertron (the prequel) actually tell the story while they were still on cybertron. The dialog is not stale and the characters are just like they supposed to be. Especially if you watched the cartoon, you'll like it. The online is decent, and pretty intense. You won't be disappointed if you're a fan.

[Elyon]

problem I had with fall of cybertron was that I'm forced to play as decepticons. that turned me off

[ichiniisama99]

well yeah. It wasn that bad though, but it got to a point where i felt like "jeez i doh want to play with them", but i guess they wanted you to get both sides of the story. War for cybertron though you could have chosen the side you wanted to play with. I haven't played the decepticons' side up to this day.

War for cybertron was pretty decent @ 1st but I found it a lil monotonous. Gonna check out Sleeping dogs if I could ever pull myslf away from BF3.
