Annoying... Is there any way to check whether you have an older model asides plugging it in and seeing? Or are pretty much all of them locked now? I still have 7 days to consider a return.
Not that I know of but I'm sure that if you removed the cooler and checked the voltage regulator that you'd be able to determine if it supported software voltage control or not.
What I want to know is has anyone used the solder pads to connect the Asus DirectCU II to a Rampage IV Extreme to control the voltage in the motherboard BIOS. I got a Sabretooth X79 so I can't try it. I got this card because I don't plan on clocking it very high and wanted a low noise solution, so far I'm not disappointed.
