Wait so apparently this thing is huge, has it fitted on your guys' motherboards fine with all the other accessories needed on it? Should I change?

It fit on mine, but it did block a memory slot. You can remove that fan though, and then no problem. I also had to do a small amount of grinding on the bracket that connects to the motherboard to clear heat sinks on the board. It's an Asus ROG board for the AMD chip, crosshair v formula z.

Absolutely no compatibility issues with that build. Just built one with basically the same specs.

Infidel! kneel infront of your motherboard master! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccbC_jMWt68

Check your motherboard If it has a pic card slot, then it should fit. If you are concerned whether the graphics will be at a steady pace or not, it depends on what power supply you have.

It fit mine after modifying my case, but I kept getting a blue screen error. Now it's just collecting dust. Stick with the AMD fan!

It really only fits a micro-itx board. I had an Intel micro-itx board in it that was the standard size and it barely fit.

sorry, won't go... changing the power supply is gonna be a must. That small amount of power would be hard pressed to even run expanded memory options well.

Its good and strong. But so big and heavy. if you choose some big mother board with multiple cards. you can do this. otherwise you need a smaller one to save space.

Fitting is more of a matter of your case and the power supply which must support high current drawn by the cards. This one supports crossfire and SLI which even comes with the cable. I have used this board with my home server for over a year, never having to reboot. It is just tough. However remember that in terms of graphic cards that is the reason why manufacturers create a compatibility list you should take a look at. If you are like me you would like to just see if it works... enjoy this superb motherboard...

Shouldn't have a problem this thing has the most clearance I have ever seen. You might want to put the memory in first though. Also if you have a big heatsink on your motherboard like the MSI mpower max z87, getting the heatsink in can be a little tricky, but it is possible.

I just looked up the 8700 and the microatx mobo. I do not think it will fit.

Although I got this motherboard a while ago, I still haven't finished assembly (the instructions are hard to follow). The motherboard can hold 4 RAM cards and one gpu and seems fairly organized. I have no idea about it's gaming capabilities but that is why I got it so I may be able to tell you soon!

Denpends on the motherboard and the way you mount the heatsink and fans.. if your going for 16GB ram that is. If is just 8gb it should work without much of a problem

No, the mother board is really short. You'll need to get a different motherboard for that.

Yes, for the case, check the noctua site for an extensive list of motherboard compatibility though

Yes, it is. In fact, it works with all motherboards, no matter the size or brand. It even was fine with an Asrock ITX which had an out of the ordinary spot for the CPU socket and the parts near it.

It is CRAP send it back. I went thru 2 of these and they both died so there is a problem they wont admit to on this board. buy ASUS MB they are the best. These people also have crappy support. STAY AWAY form gigabyte (I hope they feel this)
