Those header on the back of the PCB are slick. If they offer the same fan control options as the other Z97 boards...man oh man...

im jealous! it wont be until winter time i can afford some nice new hardware. and by then all the nice silicon will be gone!

Jetster · Jun 28, 2014

So the audio components are separate from the rest of the motherboard. I'm wondering if the LED lights can cause some interference with the audio?

Yup just to interfere with the audio lol.

I just love the red gap separating the audio from the board!

My new board and cpu

Shou Miko · Jun 28, 2014

got a Noctua NF-A14 PWM fan home a couple of days ago installed it today to get a little more air in-take in the front of my BitFenix Prodigy case to replace my NF-F12 PWM,

i was actually a bit surprised to see Noctua changing the connectors on the adapters from white to black but it's nice they finally changed that ^^

this pic is shot in "RAW" in camera settings with my Oppo Find 7a phone (Resized by Photobucket):

here is a link if u want to see how well the 13megapixel camera in my Oppo Find 7a does (The Camera is a Sony Exmor RS stacked CMOS sensor with dual LED flash, 6P Blue glass/AR+AF cover glass, f/2.0 aperture): http://puma99dk.tk/IMG20140628172244.jpg

close up of the original sleeving and connectors from Noctua:

and the fan installed in the from of my BitFenix Prodigy case:

i was too lazy to take a pic of the box :laugh:

i got this little fella today at work, i am planing on oc it when i start my vaction this friday i got 2 weeks off work so see what i can do with my MSI Z87I Gaming AC and my Corsair H80i :rockout:

i don't know if i am happy to get a chip made in "Costa Rica" normally the chips i go for are the "Malay" chips.

Peter1986C · Jul 2, 2014

Same chip anyway if it is the same model. They are not hand made.

tom_mili · Jul 2, 2014

That is one interesting chip! If you don't mind, please let us know how well it can be overclocked

I am planning to get one to burn some time for my long holiday but unfortunately they aren't available here right now..

I don't think if it matters any more whether it is from Malaysia or Costa Rica since SandyBridge...

Shou Miko · Jul 2, 2014

here is a little teasing picture of what i got at the office today, brought this one second-handed but i won't tell u what GTX model it is yet

i just hope it will give me a little more performance on my 27inch Catleap screen running at 2560x1440@120hz :rockout:

i will tell u what model it is, when i start clocking the little Pentium fella to see what it can do

Cold testing

Shou Miko · Jul 8, 2014

i got a little tired of starting to replace the cup holder for my Denon AH-D1100 the left one again, i haven't dropped my headphones when they ain't in use they are playing on my A3 size steelseries mouse pad but the plastic attents to break bcs of bad construction from Denon's side but the importer of Denon in denmark are lazy and last time they only had one replacement laying around.

the damage:

so with this i am changing my headphones, last time was about 8month ago, the Denon was fine audio wise used them all the time i been home, but with this plastic keeps breaking almost the same place i am moving on to a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M50 that mbkhd recommanded in one of this videos and he actually got a pair himself...

just a quick shot of the box with the headphones in yes i brought the red limited edition bcs i love the colour combination of red and black >.< (just look at my Bitfenix Prodigy, mobo and gfx)

nice hope u got a board with matching heatsink colour that would look awesome ^^

emissary42 · Jul 8, 2014

These would look good an ASRock Z97 Extreme6 / Extreme9 or Z97E-ITX/ac and some of the bluish MSI Z97 models, like the Z97 Guard-Pro.

I was using black & orange beast for testing though^^
