Sure!

The board is excellent imo, and lacks for nothing other than quad channel ram, which isn't all that important depending on what you're planning on doing. My biggest gripe is that even with Noctuas everywhere, I still hear the faint...
Yeah I think I definitely made a mistake here. When I think of "pump noise" I was expecting to hear the grinding noise on all those youtube videos. It sounds more like a tiny refrigerator. I may have been expecting too much from the AIO :(
Although I am still curious why the SX600's fan...
Was rather hoping the AIO in quiet mode would be silent at idle, or at least that's what the advertising indicated. Fans are silent though from what I can tell. Noise does appear to be some combination of the PSU and the Radiator.
Hey guys. I built my first rig using this motherboard. Thought I would share a few pictures of the completed product if anybody is interested:

Cable management is not the best by a long shot I realize, but I'm pretty new to desktop building, and the case is rather difficult to work...
So I just built my first ITX computer today, and I was aiming for silence when not under load. To that end, I outfitted it with a Strix 980, a Corsair H100i GTX with 2 intake 120mm Noctua NF-F12 PWM with low voltage adaptors, and 1 140mm noctua exhaust fan with a low voltage adapter as well...
Do you guys really experience pump noise that badly with the AIO stuff? I have the Corsair H100i GTX running on quiet mode via Corsair Link and I can't hear a thing other than my Air conditioning white noise.
If you want to custom cool it, again EK has a mount for it. Go crazy, and share pics :)
Assuming the H75 uses an Asetek block (looks like it) then you can order a narrow ILM mounting kit from them for 10$ + shipping. Mine came in the mail yesterday, just email their support team.
I should have my AIO cooled unit done by next week (ordered the Narrow ILM kit from Asetek) but I think if somebody wants to aircool and has room in their case then the Noctua NH-U12DX i4 should do a more than adequate job. I suspect it will probably even give water coolers a run for their money...
Hey guys, good news!
1. The Digital Storm variant is actually a re-branded H100 not H100i. The H100 is apparently compatible with the included mount ASRock provides. I'm not sure how different if any the H100i is, but I suspect it will be compatible also considering how similar they look...
This is a rather obscure question that probably won't get an answer, but I figured I would give it a shot anyway:
Does anyone happen to know if the EK Supremacy mounting plates (I need to use this one in order to fit my Narrow ILM LGA 2011v3 board.) would fit the Swiftech Apogee XL Water...
That's about as low as you can get it yeah, but it isn't actually THAT bad of a markup when you add the components together:
For example, this is the case they use: Link
It's a gorgeous aluminum case, but looks like a pain in the ass to deal with yourself. Might not be the worst premium to...
Oh, forgot to mention this for anyone that is interested:
Digital Storm (after some prodding) now has a Bolt 3 configuration with the ASRock x99 Mini Mobo. They managed to get it to work with their 240mm rad (a re-branded h100i it looks like).

Base price is expensive, but you can remove...
Woops, I didn't realize the 4790K had an iGPU already haha. Thanks for all the responses guys.
New question, gun to your head, 6700K or 5820K with everything else being equal?
