Hi all,
Question for those who are using Noctua NH-C14 with Dynatron bolts. Are there any problems with this kind of setup?
I'm also looking for this type of solution for my build (i7 5820, Corsair 250D case) and top flow cooler would really look nice with Corsair case.
The Samsung 950 Pro isn't available yet, it's expected to trickle in next week.
Wait? This works? What bolts? I want to use the NH-D14.

I'm checking availability about 8-10 times a dayFair enough. You taking the plunge?
Anyone used the asus hyper kit on this mobo yet? Been trying it with Intel 750 and no luck.
Unfortunately they aren't compatible. Asrock made their own version of it though that can be found here.

It has to do with the routing and lane length.
Anyone test compatibility with the new Samsung 950 Pro M.2 SSDs?
I remember my Kingston HyperX Predator 480GB M.2 needed an existing upgrade installation on a SATA drive in order to get a clean install of W10 up and running.
Since I don't have any SATA drives and can't keep the Kingston in with the 950 Pro (although I have the HHHL adapter there's only one PCIe slot and no integrated GPU) I'd like to make sure a fresh install is possible.
Alternatively, any experiences with a clean W10 install from the SM951 NVMe?
I just purchased it and should have it early next week. I'll let you guys know how the testing goes.
I received a reply from Noctua support regard to NH-C14S fan. They said that modifying brackets (use of bolts from supplied cooler) could result in wrong mounting pressure which can further result either in damaged components or increased CPU temperatures.
So, I'm not sure what to do? Go for NH-C14S or rather verified NH-U9DX i4.
The issue we had is worth drawing attention to since no faulty components were involved. We use an X99 motherboard for SSD testing, specifically the Asus Rampage V Extreme. However, when we originally tested the SSD 950 Pro drives both were being capped in performance. A later installation of a beta version of the Samsung Magician software revealed that the PCI-E link speed was being limited to 5Gbps, i.e. PCI-E Gen 2.0 instead of Gen 3.0, which the drives need to operate at full speed.
The problem turned out to be something as simple as our overclock settings. We use Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 modules rated at 2,800MHz, and we were using their built in XMP profile for our system's overclock. However, this automatically sets the base clock to 125MHz, which is a requirement when using high frequency memory (i.e. above 2,666MHz) on X99. However, this also affects the speed of other parts of the CPU, not just the cores, and one of those parts is the onboard PCI-E Gen 3.0 controller. In turn, in order to maintain PCI-E stability at this clock, our motherboard was downgrading the PCI-E interfaces to Gen 2.0. You can force the graphics slots back to Gen 3.0, but there's no such option for the M.2 slot, which makes sense since storage devices require perfect stability. We have not been able to confirm exactly how other motherboard manufacturers handle the situation, but it's probably safest to stick to 2,666MHz DDR4 on X99 when using a PCI-E 3.0 storage device. It should also not be a problem on Z170, where the PCI-E controller's clock is separate to the CPU BCLK.
Just buy it on eBay for $5? http://www.ebay.com/itm/271874155484
Open question to all owners . When you exit the bios does it 'hang' for minutes before rebooting. I'm sure mine never did originally but it's a while ago and I've only just got round to tinkering ageing
