Did you ever install Win 7 on your boot drive?
Windows XP and later leave footprints. For a clean install you must nuke the drive.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

The NH-D15 kit I received had several brackets... just not one for the v.3 socket.
Let's wait to see if the next person who orders an NH-D15 gets a v.3 kit without ordering an NM-I2011.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

I ordered an NH-D15.
It did not have a ver. 3 mounting kit.
The instruction manual did not address ver. 3 sockets.

The ASUS X99 E-WS board has threaded holes, topside, for cooler attachment. ...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

The NH-D15 doesn't have a ver. 3 mounting kit. I know, because I had to send one back. I thought the spec was wrong... that Noctua wouldn't omit a ver. 3 kit in Noctua's latest and greatest. From...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Your CPU cooler must have mounting for the LGA-2011 ver. 3 (aka LGA 2011-3 or LGA 2011 v.3 or "R") socket. That Noctua NH12 will not work.
The Thermalright Macho Rev. B has the v.3 mounting kit...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Brandon, have you tried an HDN or HDX card in your rig, vs the HDN in a TB chassis?

Is your TB II card the newer TB II TB 2 version, or the original TB II?

How are your PCIE slots...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

All patents to commercially available "copper TB" controllers are owned by Apple or Intel. "Copper TB" was a JV between Apple and Intel. IIRC, Intel sold Apple on implementing/co-developing Intel's...

NVMe SSD has arrived

Background: NVMe supersedes AHCI for controlling storage, and is optimized for SSDs. NVMe can be several times faster than AHCI, but NVMe SSD is required to achieve benefits vs. pre-NVMe SSDs. ...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Anyone have experience loading the OS and PT on an M.2 card?

I like the idea of an M.2 having its own reserved PCIe lanes to the CPU, bypassing the PCH. The 500GB Samsung parts are on backorder,...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

albee/Dave, the Xeon E5-2690V3 (12 core, 2.6 MHz) is twice the price of an i7-5960X (8 core, 3.0 MHz), but fits in the same LGA 2011 v3 socket. Are you tempted?

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

If multiple HDX are planned, you'll need "minimum spaced" PCIe slots to accommodate the short TDM cable. Many X99 boards have X1 and X4 slots between the X16 slots. No good for HDX2, HDX3, etc.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Other factors:

At least two hot swap drive bays in the tower... more than four is overkill, but you see where this leads you...

HAF-X or similar ... big cases that can swallow

big CPU...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

I would seriously consider an SSD for your boot/PT drive.
