I haven't even had a need need to overclock it, StealthMode. I run every game on max settings with no issues, and don't feel like any processing (or AI generation) lags. Seems pretty solid. The LEDs are super low power draw, all things considered. The GPU is what eats all the juice.

The I.T person that I am shouts. What a waste of electricity. The lights. Loads up the Rails ( 5v or 12v ). Id mod it.Drop the eye candy. Make it more practical. Take the excess rail load.....Add more fans ( 2 ) one for the gpu...one for the your ram. Then maybe you will be stable if you overclock it...

My mobo alone was $800. You're not the only one with money. My car has less than 2000 miles on it also

Wow, looks impressive!!!!!!! Love the blue hue
