Nice work these look great! I would like a set for my x99 micro I just received today, how do I go about ordering them?


Good timing.  making FTW and micro's next.  Just shoot me an email, the link is in the bottom of the signature block here.  I will probably bang out a prototype in the next few days for the Micro to send to someone to test fit it.  Sadly I didn' get a donor board so this will add much time to the process for the Micro.  The chipsets for the micro also fit the FTW board so I may send them out to a FTW owner to verify as well.

Off to the vinegar bath for mine :)
 
EDIT: OK deoxidized and sitting in a bath of Mayhem X1 until I can install them.  2 things I noticed: one of the VRM screws that attaches the delrin to the copper was shorter than the rest.  Also, there was some reside in the corners of the interior cavity of the VRM block that looked like jeweler's rouge.  q-tip took care of it.
 
Other than that they look good.


The screws I normally use are 4-40 5/16th, but a 1/4" might have slipped into the bunch (just a 16th of an inch shorter)  I can usually spot it with the naked eye but It happens sometimes when you work till 3 am.  It really doesn't make a difference since some blocks I use 1/4" length screws.

I didn't say I would make it easy did I?


It was nothing compared to a EK full-board block lol. Great job nateman, getting some very nice temps. My cpu dropped another ~5c from turning the block sideways also ⛄

Glad to hear the Chipset block fits in between the GPU blocks.

I see lot of single slot GTX980 graphic cards here...GeForce series 9 with chipset X99...
Now this motherboard with blocks is nicest X99 motherboard, really. Before...
SATA Connectors, angled 24pin, angled internal USB 3.0 are very nice details and only help to mobo look crazy good.
Titan based GPU, GTX7xx Classified, new style GTX980 reference, GTX980 K|NGP|N ...color scheme fit fantastic with motherboard
 

 
I would like to every processor OC as mine 3770K on Z77 FTW.
That's nothing special for extreme overclockers but for me so good improvement.
