Hello everyone I am currently on an AMD FX 8320 and would like to get X99. I would like to use the MSI X99S SLI Plus, 5820k and corsair DDR4 under $200 have not figured out what model yet. I have an H440 and I love it however TechSource got an E-ATX board to fit into the H440 twice and it works flawlessly both times I would like to do this in my system, but would this be safe to do? So do you guys think it can be done, or have any of you done this?

It's doable. I got my E-ATX board in my old CM690 II Advanced Nvidia Edition.

 

Just take note that the cable grommets are massively restricted so cabling is an issue.

Did not realize it was not E-ATX thanks for clearing that up. I am also considering the X99 Gaming 7 is that and E-ATX or also standard ATX?

that one is e-atx 

 

E-ATX Form Factor; 30.5cm x 25.9cm
