Damn !

It's alive.
It was indeed. The H440 v2 was easy to work with, with ample space for cable management. I wish l had gone with a different board though since the latest bios for the MSI X399 SLI Plus is bad, to say the least. Managed to get 2800MHz out of the RAM, anything higher than that on a quad channel mode would throw a RAM error at boot. The weird thing is that the BIOS reset button doesn´t work or wouldn't work so l had to revert to a single RAM stick in order to get to BIOS. Shorting the BIOS switch didn't do the trick either. It´s the first time l have encountered such behaviour from a motherboad. Did some RAM testing with MemTest64 at 2800MHz and it was solid. I was hopping for at least 2933MHz though
The CPU is overlocked via the MSI OC knob(setting 1) on the motherboard which increases the base frequency for all cores from 3.4GHz to 3.75GHz and weirdly it reduced vcore to 1.2v from 1.24-1.28v at stock settings. I used MSI Kombustor for CPU & GPU stress testing with the CPU reaching 74C. Going to deliver the PC tomorrow

Odd from the ram, most people are rocking over 3200hz on Threadripper systems due to being the best IMC chips
Looks good though !
