I have had the gaming 6 for a good while now, running 2x480s and 2x580s. Solid board. The best part is the utilities it comes with, really lets you dig into your clock speeds and fan speeds. Also, you cannot find a 580 for 500 bucks right now, so you are basically getting a mobo for free that is awesome.
smallbitNot a good deal but at least not gross price gouging of past “drops”. If you are smart(sorry massdrop shills this isn’t about you), you can easily snipe a <$400 580rx almost everyday deal off amazon/Newegg. This board is pretty weak but if you need one anyway it can make this deal pass the ripoff test...but as is for most folks deal is dead.
felunkThat is just incorrect. As a crypto miner, I keep my eye out for 8gb cards.
edit: Seriously if I am wrong, link something. I will buy it most likely. Unless it is used, then gtfo.
smallbitDude, it was even cheaper 3 weeks ago, and a real miner could care less about where the cards come from, just lowest price and in stock...lol, you must be just another massdrop shill, when actual facts can't shut you up...."me be miner, this is best deal in all of internets, motherboard for FREES!!!, MASSDROP ###1!!!"....you've been owned, now you GTFO!
felunkThat is just wrong. I want new cards so that I know they haven't already had a ton of hours on them. Common sense. This is like a REEEEE factory thread eh?
smallbitJust stop dude....newegg doesn't sell refurb gpu's....I know your masters at Massdrop have a flow chart diagram for you to follow but just stop trying to deflect your blatant miss informed sales job. Flow chart: 1)out of stock 2)current lists for $1000 from 3rd party seller 3)crappy card 4)must be refurb 5)color sucks etc....
felunkYou got some issues dude. Raging on a 3week old thread that isn't even applicable anymore. Yeah massdrop pays me to tell you to GTFO. hahaha. That would be the day. On poloniex I would have banhammered you but my banhammer doesnt work on this site...
smallbitSure you can mine btc if you want, but what are you actually mining dude? I'd be willing to bet pretty much 100% that it's eth...i also mine with AMD cards so unless you like throwing your hash away, eth has been it for awhile now. You can exchange your eth for any coin you want at a much better return than mining direct.
felunkWhats a dipcracker and a dufu? 0.o There used to be this thing in crypto called a trollbox, it resided on a website, there were happy people there, it was a reference you will never understand Oprah Noobfrey. Seriously what is a dipcracker and a dufu? Do I want to google these things?
smallbitok, you just aged yourself there as a pre-pubescent child....so i'll be on my way before it gets to "I know you are so what am I"....i hope you learned something though, that link i sent you can yield many cards for your mining collection for a reasonable price as it has for me, just be patient 580rx 8gigs of pretty much every model can be had for $350 if you setup alerts and watch that site...don't waste your money on massdrop.

and if it's out of stock by the time you get there, just watch the link below....some $349 580rx 8gigers earlier today as well, it never ceases to amaze me how little folks know how to internet, especially coming from an admitted miner, you should know all the tricks, of course real miners use alibaba and get hundreds of 570/580's for <200/ea:
