Motherboard Compatibility & Last Minute Build Check

[scarlet_shade]

Hello! Just wondering if anyone sees any issues here. I didn't see anything on Gigabyte's website for Xeon compatibility with this board. https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H61N-USB3-rev-10#sp

 

I'm planning on using the following parts list:

 

*Most of these parts were chosen because I already have them, motherboard is the only one that I had to buy

 

Xeon E1220 v2

GIgabyte H61N-USB3 ITX

2x8GB DDR3 1600 Corsair Dominator Platinum

AMD Radeon R9 290 4GB

256GB Samsung 850 Pro SSD

WD Blue 3TB 5400rpm HDD

Fractal Design Nano S (Planning on a full acrylic side panel mod)

 

As well as the following watercooling parts:

XSPC Raystorm - Intel Waterblock

XSPC R9 290 Full Cover Copper Waterblock

XSPC Cube Res & Pump (Don't know the model)

Bitspower fittings & soft tubing

 

I'm aware that doing custom watercooling for this is idiotic, but it'll look cool and I don't have an aircooled GPU, only the waterblocked 290. 

 

Thanks for looking.

Forgot to add the radiator - planning on push/pull with a very thick 240mm rad that I have. Might add a 280 in the top if the temps aren't any good.

not sure why are you liquid cooling this thing, such as waste of money that could have gone to the CPU platform. a big air cooler like the Raijintek Morpheus ii or Arctic Accelero will do.

Any custom aircooler for the gou wouldn't fit in the nano s - and I already have all of these parts except the motherboard, so theres really no reason to not use what I already have
