19$ isn't high

580 for 499$ is high

Think it could help, As Duke said Asus boards have been addressing this since the 939 days .....

I think in this day of Voltage modding and tuners it might help out. Especially when pushing bus speeds above 115 ???

Only one way to know for sure, Are they availible at EVGA ?

Isn't this basically just for the E759, E760, E770 and all other lesser model mobo's you guys make? 4-way has aux 4-pin for this doesn't it?

It can be used on any board. but guaranteed to work on EVGA boards

all in all its kinda a lil buffer for any board that does not have a supplemental pcie power.

lots of boards have had supplemental power... Remember EVGA NF41? 680I had it....

alot of boards have had it on and off for a long time...

we just made it so you dont need to replace the board. just a quick fix to allow you to use any board and still have the benefit of the supplemental power.

More will be available in January

Honda I will get back to you soon man
