I hear ya bro.......... I bought these for three reasons
1. I did not already have enough agrivation in my life so I decided to add some....
2. Minimize the blow to our Global team boints in hope to aleast not loose any ground until you top guys can get your hands on some high end non reference
3. Have some fun with latest and greatest
Now I am trying to find a local guy to cut me some copper shims since in their infanant wisdom the gpu is reccesed from the retaing ring
Now you can't tell me they did not know this would screw anyone trying to use aftermarket cooling, even the water dudes are taking it up the a$$
Edit:
Oh yea 4 reasons and to beat Doms Heaven score ..........
