some tiding up to do
really !!!!
Have you seen my test build it needs a little tiding up
Ha ha

You've really set the build quality bar pretty high for the rest of us
Some bunch of crocodiles you have there :)

Area i'm interested is: USB flash drive. Where you source USB plugs/sockets, you use for "inserting" external power? Or you use some raw intervention, as i can not see it very clear there :)?

Are you using lifepo4 for the clocks?
I talked to P.Pang about the length of signal clock wire. His opinion - influence is super small. Though i will still try to shorten my cable as i also think it is worth some effort:)
Still have no LIFEPO4 on the clock and am very eager to try it ASAP, but my whole time is stolen by my 4 months old son :) Hope i'll find some time to make it soon.
Which second clock you've successfuly changed? Adequate lift in SQ like southbridge one?

I use modified adapters like this disconnect the 5v pin from mobo and add in external

Lifepo4 for clocks is pretty much essential

Replacing the 32.768 clk is good too

Had found a source for such adapter, so i'll give it a try.

Have some LIFEPO4's, but without tab welds. I'll see if i'll be able to weld some wires on bare cells :)

Looks neat...
Any thoughts on what seems to be in there?
I'm no hero with a soldering iron... :-)

What if you plug this into a B85M G43 ?
Plug & play?

Pricing was posted on CA by Elberoth. There's three models..

Should the smallest not suffice for most?

I did not assume up front that this would be a fully ATX compliant device... but perhaps it is....?

40w would suffice for underclocked haswell

has anyone benchmarked these against other options sq wise?
