This has been released first, then hybrid version with a redesigned northbridge cooler with air/water cooling soon.

Now I've just got to wait for my EVGA 780i reference to arrive, box it off and wait for my FTW.

EVGA 780i Reference : $249.99
EVGA 780i FTW : $279.99

Ordering 2 hours and 27 minutes before the next version comes out : Priceless.

Don't pretty much all good boards have those features?

Apart from the name what's so good about it?

Alright I'll give you that.

But is it the cheesecake edition?

Happy to say my slice of cheesecake is ordered, should be arriving Monday. Won't be able to build on Friday, my normal 780i is coming in, I'll have to send it back. I ordered my slice of cheesecake today, not Tuesday.
