I ordered the Noctua NH-U12A for my setup, but I might have more space in the Fractal Design Define XL R2 than a 4U case. I figured if it can handle the Intel Core i9-9900K with "best turbo/overclocking headroom" it would handle the E-2288G. Since there was no real TDP stats on the E-2288G that I could find, I will see what my CPU temps are when I get everything setup. If I need to look at a different cooler based on what my CPU temps are from testing I will.

Ha ha ha, yeah, I saw someone bought one today only leaving 1 left, so I decided to jump on it. I wasn't sure if bumping this thread added more light on this deal, and was scared I would miss out (FOMO as the kids call it these days ). I bought all my other parts this afternoon as well. Everything is supposed to arrive within the next week, with the MB/CPU set to be here Wednesday. This is my first unRAID server, and even computer, build so I will test what I can and think is best, but I don't have any extensive tests in mind to perform.

Hi @kaiguy. How did you go about adding the extra RAM to the purchase? Did you just do the 'Make Offer' and added the extra in for the RAM? I messaged the seller about this but I have not heard back. I am really looking hard at this combo. It is almost the same as what I am pricing out for my build, but it comes with the better CPU and 128GB NVMe.

Thanks for the update Hoopster. Glad to hear the issue was not something major. So the BIOS you are using, is that the 2.10 current version that is available from the ASRock Rack site or something special ASRock Support sent you?
