"HexBox" ITX i7 Campaign Entry

Nice PC !

FREE LIKE A BIRD

I do have a radiator in there -- just a 120mm but it works well. The fan is mounted on the front side of the divider wall and the radiator on the inside. I think the case also fits 140mm fans in the same place.

Thanks Dani! Star

The DDR4 is more expensive. I paid about $80 for an 8GB stick and then my brother gave me a 2nd stick for my birthday! Beer

I went to Microcenter and I couldn't find it on the shelf but they had it in the back room.

My buddy ordered one of these motherboards but I think he's going ot use a bigger case or maybe a BitFenix. Fancy stuff. The i7-5820 sounds like a really strong processor and not much more than the top 1150 i7 (but with fewer motherboard options and more expensive DDR4).

Very nice computer I'd say!

2011-socket i7-5820k not much more powerful than 1150 socket? (i7-4790k)....hmmm, no...

The 2011 socket processor may not offer a huge edge in FPS on gaming where the extra cores aren't being fully utilized, but anywhere where multi-tasking, and additional threads are utilized, the 5820k is going to have a big advantage...

Look at cinebench, passmark, etc., scorees...it's pretty hard to beat the 12 threads of a 2011 hex core (or 2011 octo core) with an 8-thread processor like the 1150 socket allows. No question, this ASRock 2011-itx thing looks like fun. That is a LOT of processor in a small case...

wondering how long it takes before A- and G-brand boards start copying this idea...

Way small man! Been looking at the Z97M OC Formula for my next build, but I'm totally focusing on the micro. And DDR3. I'm not maked of money LOL!

I like alot though. NE regrets with the small size? Lol I bet ur hands get cramped in that case!

It is a little cramped but basically you just have to take the power supply and the top bracket out in order to reach the motherboard. It's a few extra screws but not too hard.
