Agreed, only two things I would change.

1. SATA port placement.
2. Better M.2 support.

Other than those two things, the board is pretty much perfect.

I'm ok with the Sata ports spot. It would probably be to hard to move them to the edge.

The M.2 is kind of lacking considering its only E-Key, which means NO NVME drives.... *stares at useless 950 pro*

the build looks better than the builder.

but thats not hard to do now is it?

Is SATA still not over yet, jeez lets move on already 2.5" drives are over just like 5.25", anything measured in inches is just RIP by now surely.

I have the Z97 predecessor to this board and actually the SATA placement worked out really well, the M.2 is annoying on this but much better than the Impact

I did actually think this was perfect until I saw the X99 ITX in person. This is still very very pretty, well worth involving in a build

So its that time. Lets talk cooling.

EK came through in a massive way.





















Lets take a lil closer look at the fittings! I went with all black. I wanted the fittings to blend more than stand out.

While the pictures surely are sexy, there are a lot of them, snip or a spoiler tag in your quote would be nice.

Lets take a little deeper look at what I got from EK!

Starting with the EK-Xres 140


Everything you get in the box


Inlet and outlet


Inlet on the rear


Alt shot


Alt 2 with the Valve that will be used as the drain port.

CPU Block

Completely unboxed


So clear


On the hardware


Mounted up!

So after some pains of trying to fit the PE rads in the top, I had to cave and go a different route. Enter the 240 SE from EK




Really a sleek looking rad


Digging the fin density!

Now... lets have a little fun shall we?!

WARNING>>> THESE ARENT AS DOLLED UP!


Lets get that offa here.


Lets get you guys taped up!


All together... wait... is that some fan blades?!


First coat


Fully painted


Side shot


Line up, lets go inside!
