Im pretty sure that XFX only uses BLACK PCB, and not any other color.

Currently it comes with a green PCB, but PCB changes can happen on the fly. For instance if you run out of green then you might use some of the black or vise versa.

No kidding. I am with you 100% on that Miker. Green PCB looks plain and ugly. Black makes it look like you have something under the hood...Some horsepower! Green says your a hippie tree hugging power saving three legged hamster that is dying. It's not sexy at all.

I have heard "I want Black PCB" so many times? When has someone complained they wanted a green one not the black they got?

They cost the same so just tell them to only stock and buy black PCB...

Hahaha you guys are way too image conscious.

As long as it works I don't care what color it is plus I don't stare at my case all day.
