So... I didnt want to thread jack Adak's "Meet tanker" for questions on my future 4p...
I almost pulled the triger just now on the standard Supermicro 4p everyone is rocking... (Since my funds are coming in from stuff i am selling, why not start with the MoBo since I gotta mod/fit it to my case just right...). My main question is, would the Noctuas still fit if I removed one or two of the fans from the sockets that are close together? I could just go with the 34 dollar one's from the egg too... or are those an issue too?
This model supports half the ram (256GB vs 512) but the sockets are positioned different which could pose a problem for some heatsinks:

Price on this board is in the $600's vs $700+ for the 512GB version (H8QGi-f)
