Yes.

SuperClocked = GPU is OverClocked straight out of the box. Standard GPU = GPU is not OverClocked straight out of the box. It's all based upon how comfortable you are with overclocking? Have you done it before? Is it an issue for you? If so, spend the extra $10...........If not, don't spend the extra $10.

AquaComputer is a top of the line manufacturer of water cooling products. But with High quality, comes high cost. I use a couple of their products. CPU block and Res........And have never had an issue or complaint.

Ditto.

Just from personal experience. I have never had a decrease life issue with any CPU that I have overclocked. Now maybe, granted, I didn't always have any one CPU, in any one system, for a exorbitant amount of years. So, are those CPU's still operating today? I don't have a clue. So I have no reference of knowledge, that there is a issue with lifespan or not. Other than maybe pushing CPU to there absolute, failure limit frequently? Then of course The CPU life is going to suffer.

Almost finished downloading. At 80% I can hardly wait....... to get my ass handed to me! :'(

CaseLabs STH10 I think it is. Awesome case.

As long as you have quality Air cooling and/or Water cooling and the overclock is stable. There should be no issue with the life of the CPU, lasting as long as the life of your build. CPU's, such as Intel K series processors, are designed for overclocking. They are meant to be Overclocked.

Don't Give Into The DarkSide!

I would hold out.

Nvidia conference had the manufactures under the G-Sync display..........Asus, BenQ, Philips, ViewSonic

I'm not that schooled on AMD in general. At this point in the game, it seems a little silly going from 6950 to 6970. I think you are better off selling your 6950 and upgrading. Rather than bios flashing and then getting a second 6970. And you may wont to hold off for now on upgrading. Wait for the dust to settle.
