Esoteric question...is the distance from the rear of the Asus X299 Sage to the CPU socket the same as it is in the Asus X299 Deluxe?

Well, I've got nothing but praise for @kgp for this guide, as well as the preceding ones. My build celebrates is 1 year birthday today--OK, I know there's still one cable not sleeved. Average uptime is around 21 days between reboots, longest was 40 days. Maybe this will brighten your Sunday, one...

Yes, you can continue to use the iMac 17,1 SMBIOS.

Ah, didn't realize the front page had been updated with it. Started out over on that other site.
