Nice to know that, but is there any way in da world that could watercool 7970 6gb card with fullcovered waterblock?:banghead:

I don't think I double posted, but I will keep that in mind.

AsRock Z87 itx mb supports 6 sata3 ASUS will release one supports 10 sata 3 It should supporting onboard raid 5. As the softRaid, I do remember I came across some articles mentioned that softRaid require lot more CPU process power as for raid 5/6 And atom processors used in NAS box...

And I believe CPU does matter when using software raid(please correct me if I am wrong). The box I am planning will holding upto 6 HDD and 1 SSD(for OS and some application, DB and other files will be stored in HDD raid 5). Again, I heard that any B87, H87 and Z87 itx board will support...

For NAS along it is abit overkill, this box will serves as proxy server and some other servers as well as my personal DB server for some projects. 1265L only takes 45w for TDP which is perfect for this box to stay 24/7 :) Thanks for your advice tho:D

Thanks for the information

I am planning to get a e3 1265L v3 cpu as they are available for purchasing in some distribution channels that I know. So instead of staying with the old platform, I am planning to move towards the new haswell one for my NAS. Thanks again

Appreciate your reply :) Isn't the new Exon v3 cpus are using 1150 sockets? Is Q77 a basically a z77 architecture board?

Hi all, I am just wondering is there a known z87 itx motherboard that supports the Haswell XEON e3-1265L v3? Thanks in advance

Yes, I think I will increase the budget in order to make eye infinity work with high setting, thanks I will go with either titan sli or 8970 cf if I am waiting Sorry guys I am back again because I just found out something. Actually I ended up with selling my 3 Dell monitors as 2 titan is way...

indeed :banghead: Didn't realize it actually require more than 5k+ for this rig without the 1440ps and watercooling

Yea, I think in the end I still have 3 options: 1. wait for 8970 and pray 2. go with 7970 cf and pray for fixing 3. go with 770 sli and happy for one year :banghead: GOD, please grants me a titan with price of 770

yea, you have the point, I am getting into another dead end...

IF (another big if) 1, how about titan, but that's almost triple the price comparing to gtx 770s.....:cry:

Agreed, but what IF (god knows :laugh:) AMD fixed the CF issue in their next CCC release?
