Hey Boil,Question towards the CPU cooler clearance with the backing mesh…
Is the clearance still at 65mm (really wanting to use the Noctua NH-L9x65)…?
I really, Really, REALLY love the latest revision…! The large venting slots with the honeycomb mesh backing has a great industrial look, the left-aligned front I/O looks awesome, and the flush / recessed screws give everything a cleaner look…!
Now if Nvidia could see their way to making a nice Titan ITX GPU…!!!
I am moving the mb mounting plate back .032" toward the gpu side to acct for the hex mesh. So it will still fit a 65mm cooler. The space between the cooler fan and cover mesh will be the same 2mm as it was before. 2mm isnt much, so there will be some noise when the fan ramps up. The higher open area (71%) of the hex mesh vs small slots (40-50%) should give lower noise level.
