like to go EVGA Z170 to but there are only 6 STA ports a need 8-10 ports ^^ so a have to w8 longer

X99 Micro 2 have 10 SATA Ports.
I'm not sure is it possible on SATA Express connector someone to use as SATA III for more devices.
Example 4x SATA III on SATA Express?

I then launched into Windows 8.1 Pro and loaded up EVGA E-LEET twice (CPU & Monitoring tabs), HWINFO and Intel Burn Test.
Ran IBT at Maximum Setting for 10 passes and it passed but hit 75 deg Cel --

 
Would you run P95 now or a longer stress test to confirm 4.5GHz is ok ?
Also, what are the safe max temps when running stress tests ? Linus advises 80 to 85 deg C on 6700K ?
Cheers for the help ..

Just a friendly comment.
Zorton Maverick,
     Although you are running on a superior air cooler (NOCTUA NH-D15) You can bring your temps way down if you go with a water cooling solution. EVGA_JacobF is using "Case/Cooling: EVGA Hadron Hydro, Watercooled CPU + GPU (2x120mm Radiator)"  I use the Swiftech H220 myself. I would recommend a water solution if you are an overclocking enthusiast. Thanks, Bret :D

@btodd1 - I have been looking at buying the ekwb Predator 360, but I think I will stick with the NH-D15 for now.
I am not an overclocker and was just dabbling - also, the D15 can handle up to 4.5 with current CPU - so happy with that.
Not going to use P95 or IBT anymore and will stick with AIDA65.
For me, the £200 (€280) for the Predator 360 is just not worth it when that money could be put towards a new Monitor or 2nd 980ti...  ;-)

 
     Yes the Predator 360 looks great. I originally started with the swiftech H320 (3FANS) But it would not fit in my Silverstone Raven 03. I changed to the Swiftech H220(2 FANS) I have mine in push pull (4FANS 2 on each side) and I'm quite happy with it. Here is a pic of my temps at 4.6Ghz. Check the MAX temps at the bottom, 66C is all it got up to on the Prime95 test. That's the reason I wanted to reply to you on the air cooling solution. I do understand the money thing! (where to put it and when) I have to wait on my 980ti Hybrid. ;(   Then my build will be complete!

Thanks, Bret

I just got the Predator 360 yesterday ..fun fact ..they make you replace the cpu socket backplate with theirs.

@Brett - nice OC and temps
@PittsburghJoe - would be interested to hear your thoughts on it after you have installed and used for a bit - e.g. Installation, Noise, temps, etc...

Thanks Zorton!
Yes, PittsburghJoe, I too would like to hear about your Predator 360.
Keep us updated on how it goes. Including installation of socket backplate.
 
:D  Bret

You need a new case - something bigger ;-)
