120mm fan is optional to use? So after removing nf-p12 there would be enough clear space for black(b1) memory slot. Right?

No. The metal part of the heatsink (NOT REMOVABLE) blocks the black memory slots. No way to use the black memory slots with NH-D14.

I'm rocking the 8gb 2x4gb trident x 2400 on my rig and its running fast and smooth... i'd say for the money go with them.... you can always load another pair in for 16gb worth of ram. plus it should be significantly cheaper. Can't go wrong with the manf that they've set records with.

Using 2 kits is a bad idea, even if they are exactly the same model & number. Better to just use one kit to save hassles with installing the 2nd kit.

^ Thanks man. Seat is a tight fit, considering I'm a large guy (6'1"). Nothing some cardio won't fix, though. Lol.

Can't wait to get my hands on my M5F tomorrow. Still wondering why it's listed on FedEx as 6.8lbs... :confused:

Have any of you had any problems with the wireless/mPCIe combo card? When I plug mine in the board won't power up. Board lights up, but the go LED just blinks and the board doesn't power on. No error codes whatsoever.

Once I remove the combo card everything seems to work fine. I haven't done any stress tests, but I was able to load Windows and all drivers without error.

Just a quick update about the delivery of the M5F here in Germany: After I contacted the support of ATELCO, where I preordered my M5F motherboard because it says that the delivery will be on the 20/21, they told me today that it will be available on the 25. Just another five stupid days of waiting time. I guess my GTX 670's will become rusty if the delivery takes longer then a week.

@Sam
Thanks for your quick answer and your advice. I ordered a single S23A700D in order to estimate how much space I need on my desk and to look for its size. I really have to say that the 23" monitor looks very tiny on my desk and in comparison with my 27" it just looks crappy. I really prefer the 27" size and I think it suits better for me.
The advantage of the 23" monitor was the sharper image but I couldn't get convinced to sell my brilliant 27".


EDIT: Okay it seems that just another retailers have it in stock now. Should I cancel my order to get it on monday?
