I'm about to upgrade my beloved i5-750 to a i7-4770K and I am looking at getting the MSI MPower Z87, but I have a few concerns.
First, I know it sounds silly, but I noted that the board has two eight-pin connectors at the top and I'm a bit of a stickler for my cabling, so I will have to ask if one has to use both of them. This will require sleeving additional cables so it is a bit of an inconvenience.
Mostly though, I have a homebrew water loop that has the 240 radiator at the top of the Corsair 550D case and I need to make sure that the rather large heatsink on the board will clear it.
Does anyone have the board that could measure the height of the heatsinks around the socket for me? If not, perhaps provide a link that will allow me to measure to see if it will clear?
Thanks.
