    Not bad idea but not entirely new. It's OK for most stock speeds but 135W TDP is not exactly overclocking paradise.

    Agreed, I don't want that thing hanging off my board either. Too big.

    That's always been an issue for builders using tower cases versus the more-conventional 'flat' case, things hanging 'out there'.

    I just prefer clean low profile coolers, regardless of case.

    Anyway one of the things I like about AIO coolers is their small footprint in the CPU area and thus why use them. Before that I tried low profile coolers as I never was a fan of the big tall ones. Here's one I was using before I moved to the AIO's - Noctua NH-C12P SE14 (next 3 images).

    How is it that board doesn't support HDMI 2.0, especially for the asking price of $379.99?

    Other than being a Z270 board, 4-Way SLI/Crossfire support, and supporting 3 NVME drives, I'm not sure there's much there that my Z170X (Gigabyte GA-Z170X Gaming GT) board doesn't have/do - 14-Phase, got it. Dr. Debug, yeah. HDMI 2.0, yes. Kaby Lake support - yes, with F20 Bios update (out now).

    Nice looking board though. Neat and clean looking. Love the silver theme. I do think it's slightly overpriced for what you get compared to Gigabyte's Z270X-Gaming 8 board at $399.99.
