Fight Game Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) I don't think so. There's been countless reviews showing that even the strongest cards don't use more than a x8 slot. so 2 x8 slots would be 16, leaving 4 for your m.2. I would have went with the newer technology z170 board myself (and cheaper), but I'm sure the x99 will be fine as well.

AllYourF0rt Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Dang it I could have saved 200 bucks. Too late. It will still be fast. Should I be able to get a 4 GHz oc on the Noctua? I just ordered the last bit of stuff(for now) Asus PB287q and EVGA 980 ti Classified. I'm thinking it should be able to run Diablo 3 and Team Fortress 2 4K vsync locked at 60 fps.

Fight Game Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 I would guess yes. Lots of reviews has them doing 4 or more. Here's one at 4.5, but on water. http://www.hardocp.com/article/2014/09/25/core_i75960x_5930k_5820k_overclocking_performance/3#.Vv6XX035Opo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllYourF0rt Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself I haven't played Diablo 3 in 4 months. So I got most of the parts in yesterday. Everything is top quality for sure. I especially like the PSU it's built like a tank. I can't believe how small the 950 Pro is! Technology is amazing. I sized up the Noctua to the motherboard there is what looks like 1\2 to 3\4 inch from the top pcie slot. Once I get the vid card and monitor in on Tuesday I'll assemble and see how it goes. I kinda had a scare yesterday. I decided to look how to install Windows 10 to the Samsung 950 Pro(just to be prepared for when I build it on Tuesday) I was worried that my bios rev wasn't new enough I found out it is 2.10! It's a go. Edited April 3, 2016 by AllYourF0rt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllYourF0rt Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Got it all slapped together! It's super fast! These DT 990 600 Ohm are amazing. Cinebench R15 results 157.58 fps OpenGl, CPU 1072 CB. I haven't overclocked anything. Edited April 6, 2016 by AllYourF0rt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
