Et Ali
I used an Asus Z10PE-D8 WS as the backbone to a god box.
Asus has bios 1202 out which also fully support m.2 pcie 3.0 drives as well as Sata Express drives.
I was using the Z9PED8 in the prior incarnation, this is the new box based on the Z10
For video I use 4 titan x SC (quad SLi) so I had to accommodate the four cards on the board as well as the dual cpus, I had to really plan out the cable selection and cable management for a relatively small enclosure.
I run at 4096x2160 true 4k and I like my games to be full eye candy and I like to run a lot of VM for the various things I do for work and pleasure. Unfortunately the box also sees a lot of work
While at first glance one would not notice, but there were a lot of details worked out in this build.
Getting the Z10 and all the accouterments into a relatively tiny box was somewhat challenging.
Warning, I've been through 4 of the Asus Z10PE-D8 WS motherboards: the prior 3 were board revision 1.00, 1.02, 1.03 and now I'm on version 1.04. The last fixed some underlying issues so if you are contemplating a build, please try to get board version 1.04
Well here are my specs and some pictures, please enjoy
thx
