Anyone playing with one of these?

 

They seem like a very hot item right now, everyone's sold out.  I'm wondering how they perform with P3Dv2 and XP-X?

Been on the fence about it for awhile now.

 

I want one (or 2) but I have absolutely no current need for one (or 2).

 

I'm sure we've all told ourselves that one before though xD

 

I'd hope to wait until the non-reference models are plentiful and then jump in...an MSI Lightning model seems most likely.

I think that is the problem, literally.

 

Some reviews are saying wait for non-reference upgraded cooling solutions.

Those are actually starting to appear finally.
