I also really want this board but just can't justify spending over £400 for just a processor... Hopefully prices might come down?

Simulatorman when you planning to complete your build and see how that baby rocks? Would be interested to see how well you can overclock with the H100 cooling. Something I'm trying to decide now between custom cooling or the off the shelf variety which I would be much happier with.

Very nice components! What made you go for that particular memory? Any reviews? I can't seem to find the QVL for this board on Asus' website.

They are recommended on the gskill site as compatible

Found this guide to UEFI overclocking for the R4E:

With luck I should be able to start with the build in the next few days.

Looking forward to this - hope it goes well for you.

I might get this board... but what do you guys think will get the best OC's out of a 3930K and 3960X? Any advantages to the 3960 for OC-ing? I'd like to hit 5GHz... but this also has to be done with 32GB RAM installed. I'm going to go a little crazy with cooling.

Im getting one of these to put in my caselabs,you have to put it on custom water,no point putting it on a water kit,its an insult!

Perfect - thank you! I couldn't find it on Asus' website, they just had a cooler QVL list when I last looked. I'll be joining you soon, albeit looking up from the lower domain of the 3930k...

EDIT - of course, I should have spotted that's a scan. Thanks for taking the time to upload it.
Also just noticed that F3-17000CL9Q-16GBXLD doesn't appear to be on G.skill's site, I can only think it's a typo on Asus' website - please correct me if anyone's seen this RAM around.

Sorry - just found it, hidden: G.Skill

F3-17000CL9Q-16GBXLD is a correct part number , a bit expensive though at £285

The memory QVL is here.

does this board allow you to use USB mice and keyboards ?
I've subscribed to this thread by the way.

Well, I'll simply carry on using my RIIIE, plus one of these lovelies that I picked up on the previous this week only for £428:

Thats almost as good as your LGA 2011 builds.

Considering putting together a build around a Rampage IV and a 3960x, so will be keeping an eye on this thread.
Was initially thinking of slapping them into a Corsair 800D with a H100, but the recent 800D with an EK H30 put together http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-035-OE&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat= is actually starting to look tempting. Probably better off hanging around the watercooling section for info, but does anyone have any opinion on this cooling setup, as I'm at the point where ease of setup is actually appealing.
