Just put together an Asus X99-A board with the i7-5820 and 16GB Cosair Vengeance DDR4 @2666. (Without crazy heat sink fins) The board comes with a built-in back plate so couldn't use my quiet and reliable HR-02 Macho.
Doesn't seem to be a lot available for X99 boards. I have a Fractal R4. Could really use some suggestions. Plan on mild OC.
Thanks in advance!

Wow, that would be great. I have the older Macho. Not sure if the Rev A works. Will look into it. Thanks!
Not sure if I ever had the 4 screw pillars. I keep everything PC related in case I want to sell it or re-use it, so I will look for them over the weekend.

If you didn't have them or can't find them they are available as a reasonably priced adapter kit from sources such as this one.suchageek wrote:Not sure if I ever had the 4 screw pillars...
