Yeah, Asrock actually advertises the board as accepting 256GB total RAM, so it must support 3DS LRDIMMs. Sadly those cost $3000 apiece and I just haven't had any excuse to get any. Some guy here wanted 2TB of RAM in a system but, well, 16 of those DIMMs was a bit outside the budget. (Not that...

If you really just need 64gb in a small package, the X99 ITX board still exists. I'm sure there are other tradeoffs, though.

Does it really make any real-world difference if the M.2 drive is connected to the PCH? I expect that latency would be higher but I'm not sure if it would really make much difference in practice. Any reference to performance numbers?

I think what you want might be pushing physics or reality just a bit, but maybe you just have a bigger backpack than I'm imagining. But hey, if you have the money to spend on an experiment then have at it. I know you can fit it all in an 11 liter case with room for optical and some 2.5" disks...

Technically you can put the power supply wherever you like as long as you get the cabling to the right parts of the board.. Obviously there is a length limitation but you should be OK if you use wire of a reasonable gauge. Of course you'll need to solder if you don't use a fully modular PSU...

So I've been following this for some time. Newegg finally got some boards in stock and so I snagged one while they were still available. I haven't managed to find a source for that custom water block, though. I guess it's a bit too early. So the question is... if I'm cramming this into a...
