I'm looking between two kprepublic XD68 plates:

Carbon fibre

Stainless steel

This is for an ISO build, which includes 1.25U left shift. In the description, the carbon fibre one seems to support it, but the stainless steel one doesn't. The plates look identical, can someone help me work out if either or both will work with an ISO layout?

Thanks :)

I'm in the process of buying parts for a Z370 system (8600K air cooled), and I just ordered an ASUS Prime Z370-A. However, I found the STRIX E for less than what I paid for the Prime A, so I'm thinking of returning the Prime for the STRIX. Looking at the ASUS compare pages (can't link unfortunately) some of the features from the more budget-focused Prime board (for example, MEMOK!) aren't explicitly mentioned on the higher-end STRIX board.

Are these features missing from the STRIX or just not listed on the specs page? And are there any reasons (money no object) to get the Prime Z370-A over the STRIX E?

Thanks in advance

I'm currently speccing a build (in the UK), I originally had down a Hyper 212 with a Corsair ML120 to replace the Cooler Master stock fan. Looking at the combined price (£40) however, I found the Shadow Rock 2 and H7 both for less than that. I'm leaning towards the Shadow Rock, but the H7 seems to be more popular.

In terms of compatibility, I'll be using a 7600K, Asus Z270-A, Corsair LPX RAM, and a Phanteks P400S TG (which the Shadow Rock does fit). I hope to be overclocking the 7600K a little bit, but nothing ex
