    Looking closer at the spec of the Asus P8Z68 DELUXE there is nowhere for a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) which is a massive problem for me!

    What is a Trusted Platform Module?
    A TPM is a microchip designed to provide basic security-related functions, primarily involving encryption keys. The TPM is usually installed on the motherboard of a computer or laptop, and communicates with the rest of the system using a hardware bus.
    I'll have to look into this some more.

    OK that's the mobo and CPU sorted, I'll get them installed on Monday or Tuesday
    I went with the i7 2600k and Asus P8Z68 DELUXE, I really wanted to go with a LGA2011 setup but not at 130watt TDP.
    I thought I would use a Corsair A70 this time

    I'm going to make a start on this later today *Fingers Crossed*

    Though I have just realized I have no ATX 8 Pin extenders left, and I'm not sure if the HX650 will reach, my HX750 was fine but then the AX750 was too short

    We will see

    So far I have just prepped the case - motherboard stand offs, and fans. I swapped the rear 120mm fan for what I consider the best fan ever made - Sythe Ultra Quiet 1600rpm.
    I have also mounted the Corsair A70, ready for me slot in tomorrow when the 8 Pin ATX extender gets here in the morning.
    Here's some pictures so far..

    Well, I didn't need the 8 Pin ATX extender, but I did have one small issue... The Corsair Vengeance doesn't fit under the Corsair A70 (I had thought I would loose the first RAM channel), but no I couldn't put the front fan on the A70 at all, so I am waiting for some of the Low-Profile Vengeance to get here tomorrow or friday. Until then I will have to run the A70 with one fan. No big deal I'm still getting good temps.
    Anyway I will get some more pictures up when I finish
