If you use the Asus CPU installation tool, it stays on the CPU and fits in the socket. If it were me I would go with the Core X5.
Yeah, I returned the case the next day. That case is A LOT biggere than it shows on amazon and newegg. I did want the X5 because if i were to do custom watercooling, I could put dual 360mm rads up top and it loks better than aving a rad up top and oone in the front and bottom, etc. Just my opinion. I walked out with the Corsair Air 540 as that was the closing thing to a Cube Case and pretty big but the rep told me that it does hold dual 360s but when i was putting the box in my trunk, i saw the specs on the side and it only holds 1 360, 1 280, and 1 240.
I sat in my car for a few minutes a thought about ordering the core x5 which would take 4-5 days to arrive as my prime membership ended about a week ago. So I went on microcenter.com and looked at their full tower cases and found a case ive never even heard of. Its a In Win 509 ROG edition. They had 1 left, so i ordered it right away in my car and walked back in to exchange it. And i amdefinitely happy with this case. And the ROG edition is just them adding red to part of the case, lol. Just type in In win 509 on google and youll see. plenty of room. Also comes with a temperered glass window, not plastic or acrylic lol. In Win cases used to be way to expensive, I paid 185, Si minus the 150 i paid for the core x9, i paid about 35-40. And also, theres alot more room for cable management in the back then on my 750D. Im still taking it slow, so I dont mess anything up, litterally reading the motherboard manual as im building. Once i finish, then ill order the RGB fans and rgb sstrips, but for now, im just gonna try and get the thing running. Will keep you guys posted. You guys have been awesome, thanks again.

So far most cases, does not have a dedicated cable for that. For example y have maker 5. It has the port but is share with usb 3.0. Work ok but is not as fast. having the port USB3.0 down make a clean case looks bad, since is a bulky cable. there is fix on MODDIY. They sell a extension is nice i am ordering that since will look clean!
Yes, thanks. I got to the part in the manual where it says the 3.1 usb port cables plug into the big usb 3.0 ports, lol. Just wanted to make sure.
Another small mistake I did was buy the RGB version of the thermaltake 360mm cpu cooler, because the rgb fans that coome with the cooler has an airflow of 40cfm and the white ones that come on the plain cooler, has a cfm of 99. I could have kept thos efor the top cause you can see it anyway, but im going to take my 3000rpm noctua 120mm fans from my old push pull setup and put different fans in there, and i would just have to order 1 fan which i did foir 25 bucks on amazon. But they are worth it, when i manually turn the fans on to top speeed, i see the temps dropping in command center really fast, lol, but its also louyd as hell.
ANd, when I was back at the store to return the case, I told the rep that im gonna see if i can find another case and she said no problem. Well, while i was doing that< i saw the EKWB Extreme 360 CPU begginner kit which i always wanted to get. The XE Coolstream 360mm is one of the best radiators out according to extreme rigs,they do tests on cpu blocks and rads every few months and the XE Coolstream rad that comes with the kit is about 100 bucks by itself. And i Paid 180 for my thermaltake kit, plus another 20 for the extra noctua fan. I was thinking about sending it back to Amazon and just spend another 200 bucks on a better CPU cooler kit which I can add too such as a water block for the GPU, etc. But it would take another week or 2, so i just stuck it out. :/ In the end, custom water cooling is really just about looks. In my opinion , it loks awesome and does lower the temps more then the AIOs, but thats about it. If youre running SLI, then its a good idea to run a custom loop as the gpus tend to get hot but nowadays, alot of the games wont even let you use SLI. And we got the 1080 ti coming out very soon which will be more than enough for anyone.
