HDT please :happy:

This is ID-COOLING IS-50 with 5 Direct Touch heatpipes: They also have IS-60 with 6 heatpipes, without Direct Touch though. Dan, maybe you could take some inspirations from them?

Nice work Dan! So Heatpipe Direct Touch is out of the question?

Thanks for the clarification Dan, what are the considerations and challenges of direct touch heatpipe design? I don't see Noctua use it.

would love to see a full copper + vapour chamber version for K model CPUs and of course LGA2011-3.

Would it be even better than full copper Dynatron T318 with vapour chamber?

Told you to dig deeper :) Looks like a mismatch between the listing and the actual products shipped. Let me reiterate, i7 CPUs do not work with registered RAMs.

If you dig deeper and look closely, the Samsung 32GB and Kingston 2x16GB ECC RAMs you quoted are actually all unbuffered/unregistered. Registered RAM simply do not work with desktop CPU at all.

i7 CPUs can support up to 2x16GB ECC UDIMM RAM on Asrock X99 (operate in non-ECC mode), beyond that capacity all ECC RAMs are registered RDIMM which do not work with i7. So for now i7 CPUs only work with maximum 32GB RAM, ECC or not. However I've heard very recently there's a 32GB single stick...

Yep totally worth it, if you dont have urgent need, X299 ITX is likely to come out later this year.

It's possible but you cannot put those M.2 drives in RAID.

Check the other thread "PCI-E Bifurcation" for more info :)

Remember it's PCIe 3.0 x8, with that bandwidth your Titan X has zero noticeable performance degradation.

Well the PCIe 3.0 x16 on the Asrock X99 ITX mobo can be bifurcated to two PCIe 3.0 x8, that's more than enough for running a GPU and some other devices.
