Hi, born2fli.
Welcome to the ROGs! In the time I´ve been on this forum I haven´t seen any posts on specific use and results on the Fusion Thermo yet, and I´ve found this "...This factor might be slight and not generally of concern to air coolers, but it still might make the difference for a few notches of BClk that means a world record or competition win for professionals." @ http://rog.asus.com/86722012/maximus-v-motherboards/maximus-v-formula-hybrid-thermal-solution-detail...
But, never the less, would be interesting to know how the temps. behave, and if some of the issues reported here could be alleviated by using the fusion thermo.

Very welcome, b2f, erhm, I have not clue whatsoever about PLX, haven´t heard of ´em until I saw your post. I´ll have to study on it now, dammit 😉
Oh, if you´re a fly-boy check out my user group, go Community/Groups in the top, look for Fly ROG AirWays.

Thansk for the link, heavy reading :cool:
Well, my way to the ROGs went from the cpu recommended by other flight simmers. Then looking for a board, I stumbled across a video review by "Tiny" Tim Logan. I´ve followed his advice before, and hasn´t disappointed me yet. Relieved by the apparent ease of overclocking, I was even more convinced to go ROG again, after spending some time on this forum. I´ve learned so much here, and the patience of the tech wizards here is good! Just waiting to get all my stuff together for the build. And looking at all these slick builds, I must admit, that I´m going for the looks as well on this build, and the ROG board colours suit me just fine.

I´ve got the Formula, to have the option for 2way sli, Extreme is too many bells and whistles aimed at hardcore clockers and benchers, and it comes at a somewhat higher price than the Formula.
The GTX 680 4 gb should be adequate for my four monitors (will need adaptors, I know), that´s 5040 x 1050 plus a 24 inch touch screen for instruments. Either MSI Twin Frozr or Gigabyte, important is they´re factory overclocked and come with dual or tri-fan cooling, hence less noise. Atm the Gigabyte is a lot cheaper than the MSI, the price of which has risen a lot over the course of autumn and christmas.
