This is the one I got. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...&cm_sp=Homepage_BS-_-P4_34-331-907-_-09042016
Beware of the "Free game" that costs $50. Newegg created a scam for this laptop.
This laptop has a "Free game" comming with it. The laptop cost $959.99 when I bought it. But when they bill you, they bill $909 and $50 separately and show in your newegg account order folder that game is "Not refundable". So if you want to return laptop, they will give you back $909. You can not refuse the game. Fortunately laptop looks ok and I will not return it, but such practices are unacceptable. You can not even refuse to get the "Free game". I even did not look at it, cause I do not care about that garbage.

Wow. I would have never thought from the egg but than again, they've been known to give you used products when purchasing new. I know it's happen to me twice but they took care of me. Unwanted inconvenience as well.

It's a download, so the code could be revoked if you returned the laptop, so the no refund don't make sense. Putting it in my cart, price has dropped by $10 by the way, the download is listed as $0.00 with standard return policy. The standard return policy states that downloadable software is a consumable and cannot be returned, however the product listing states "Return for refund within: 30 days" and "Return for replacement within: 30 days". I suspect no one has looked at this since downloading 40GB games with a digital code has become commonplace. Newegg are usually eminently sensible when it comes to dealing with their customers and in this situation if I was wanting to return the laptop I'd be contacting Customer Service to make sure everything was to my satisfaction.
Try to buy it. You will be surprised as I was. The game was listed as $0.00 until I clicked place an order.
Here is a screen shot of my order history. It shows the way they billed me.

Why a K version with a H170 chipset?
So far laptop is ok. Thus, I have not tried to scream at them for refund. I get what you are saying, though.

The price difference between K and non-k version was very small. Not planning to overclock atm, but may switch the mobo sometime in the future to push some clocks.
edit: And higher stock clock

˄˄ this. & what are the temps when folding?

It's louder than the blower cooler I had on my EVGA 980 SC Gaming.
I am keeping the fans at 80% (about as much as I can stand)...EVGA is supposed to be working on a hybrid kit for these.
The temps while folding (before I went to bed) were at 77 C with a 28 C ambient...80% fan speed. If I increase to 100%, it drops the temps by about 6 C...but that's too loud!
I have slightly overclocked the card (haven't done anything fantastic yet)...it's folding at 1875 MHz at the temperatures above.
