Some doubts about a pre-OC GPU...

So, I've been looking about the R9 270X. It looks like a great GPU, but it says 'OC Edition'. I know what's overclock, but I don't want it... Is it possible to remove it, even if it's pre-OCed?

I don't want it to be OCed because I think it'll be noisier, and more heat, and I don't want to buy a cooler.

I guess that's fine, hope so I can find one >__<

Oh well, could you tell me if a R9 270X Dual-X fits in a Zalman Z12 Plus Case?

Would a +550W SeaSonic PSU do well with this GPU? Not going to overclock (as I said above xD)... The recommended PSU is 500W and for CrossFire 600W.
 
well, the asrock one has more connectors like 1 more usb 3.0, 2 more sata 3gb/s, and the pcie x16 slots are normal, as in either 1 card at x16 speed, or 2 cards at x8 speed each. the gigabyte board has 2 pcie x16 slots, but if you put a pcie x4 card in the empty x4 slot, then the second x16 slot is unusable. it makes no difference to you, but it shows that asrock has a better layout and format. either board is great and will be fine for you :D
