Would limit the enclosures it would fit into. At least they won't get in the way of the graphics card in that location.

5.1 on the SupremeFX board?

But dear god that's one awesome board, almost a shame it's Haswell

I have this board, but have an issue with the back usb 2 ports. If I connect devices, they randomly just switch off, eg: keyboard, mouse, g13 etc. Also, if I connect something into the back, it sometimes causes any of the usb2 devices to switch off.

I have no problem with the usb3 ports. I have to connect the keyboard and mouse to the usb3 ports so they don't randomly switch off.

I have noticed that the back plate is coated with thick foam.

I hope its not a board fault, and maybe the board/back plate just needs seating.

I have a H80i connected into an internal usb2 header and its all powered by a Seasonic G series 550w '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply.

Any ideas?

Any chance you can try it without the H80i plugged into the header?

Thats an idea that I didn't think off. Will give it a try, and let you know.

Thx.

Just shows how much power you can have in a small enclosure!

The foam backplate is intentional although I hate it on mine. An utter pain.
