Some good news!

When will OCUK have stock? I think the Acetal+Nickel block looks the better of the two.

Our stock of R6E should arrive Monday next week apparently. Just updated now.

Woooohooooo

Will your bundles for the 18 core include this board as a option, and if so is there likely to be enough stock ? Should I pre order this now ? or Should I wait ?

From caselabs page

** "E-ATX" motherboards such as the ASUS RAMPAGE V EXTREME will fit in this case with the ATX option. E-ATX motherboards such as the Supermicro H8DG6 will not fit in this case unless the SSI-EEB option is selected. Please cross reference the motherboard tray size with the motherboard dimensions from the manufacturer.

The new board is listed on asus's site as 12 inch x 10.9 inch ( 30.5 cm x 27.7 cm ) so it's 0.5cm wider

I expect it will fit, as images of the board place the mounting holes in the same place as the regular atx and eatx boards.

That said. Imo you don't want to risk it, and don't really want the case anymore so should put it up on the mm for a quick sale.

I'm thinking of getting the extreme version. I have looked at the dimensions. 12"x10.9".
This wouldn't fit with a caselabs sma8 would it with the atx form factor? since the max width is 10.75".

Therefore I am having to upgrade to SSI EEB.? Is this correct?

Yes it should fit a SMA8 as ill be getting the Extreme and I run a SM8. The key is to look at the mount points, which looking at the older board seem to be in the same place so its safe to assume these will fit.

I am not 100% sure on exact stock levels. Hopefully we have enough. Yes 18c option on this board for sure.

So, for the extreme. Should I upgrade to SSI EEB form factor space on the sma8? Will this fit?

It should fit in the SMA8, if you look at the MB mount points. However, if you want to upgrade feel free.

I'll be ordering one and I am running a CL Merlin SM8.

Is stock still arriving on Monday?

Also is it possible to run 8 sticks DDR4 (G.Skill Trident Z - 3600 C16 - B-Die) @ 3600 Mhz or will that be too much for the IMC?

8 Pack · 22 Sep 2017 at 20:02

Yes and yes.

Rampage vi and 7900x ordered :cool:

As well as another FTW 3 to fill my lonely case.

Had my RVE a good 2 years now so it's time she went now as I fancy a colour change away from my black/red theme.

All nickel fittings/backplates/cpu block. Black/silver cables and pastel white coolant is my idea now.

Toying with the idea of deliding but going to see how the chip performs first. Will be on custom loop anyway.

RSR · 24 Sep 2017 at 15:03

Epic choice!

I'm currently stuck choosing between a 7900X or 7940X, as looking at the information from Intel the 7940X should be the sweet spot in the range.
