This is for the NARROW LGA 2011 socket
Pros: Fits well, cools well, reasonably quiet.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Regarding the other reviews complaining about the fit - there are two specs for LGA 2011 coolers. This is the narrow one. If you pick the wrong one for your motherboard, it won't fit. It's not defective - just the wrong part for your application.
Not drilled right for Extended ATX Board
Pros: Big case, quality looks decent
Cons: The case is not drilled properly for extended ATX boards - or at least not the SUPERMICRO MBD-X9DR3-F-O board. Holes only available for 6 of the 9 motherboard holes leaving the corner by the back panel conectors completely unsupported.
Needs LGA 2011 *NARROW* Cooler
Pros: Just an FYI - Takes an LGA 2011 Narrow cpu cooler
Cons: Wish that was in the specs here.
