Plan to use an EnzoTech Ultra-X CPU cooler with pictorial dimensions here. But can't determine if it will collide with PCI-Express slot or hang over edges of motherboards. As found no info of it being used with ITX boards or recent desktop boards.

Asus ITX range look best choice so far, but haven't figured out with board mounted in a vertical case, with cooler heatpipes pointing upwards, if heatpipes extend beyond board. And if using Z87I-Pro will heatpipes contact the power daughter board.

Any sources listing dimensions of socket from edge of board or other collisions points?

Going by pictures it seem Gigabyte and MSI are out. ASRock costs more than Asus.
