We have received quite a number of e-mails for the issues concerning the motherboard compatibility of Ninja PLUS Rev. B CPU Cooler (Model Number: SCNJ-1100P) with ASUS P5B Deluxe and Gigabyte GA-965P-DS4. The actual mounting and testing has been arranged in our test lab that the mounting bracket supplied with Ninja PLUS Rev. B CPU Cooler does fit without interfering or touching the components as shown in the below image.

Above image is showing the ASUS P5B Deluxe motherboard

Disclaimer:
Please note that this compatibility may not apply to all the motherboards as the manufacturer randomly tend to change the components (capacitors, condensers, etc) used for their motherboard without informing to the public. Hence, the height of the capacitors and condensers maybe higher depending on the production lot of the motherboard.

It seems that some motherboard (particularly LGA775 socket) and the mounting bracket (for LGA775) of Ninja PLUS Rev.B CPU Cooler interrupts the heatsink installation. The symptom is that the mounting bracket interferes with the capacitors around the CPU socket. If this symptom causes the installation difficulty, please perform the following steps re-install the CPU cooler:

1. Screws to mount the mounting bracket onto the heatsink
Please make sure to securely tighten the 4 screws (shown in the below image with red arrows) in order to have a firm attachment of the mounting bracket to the heatsink base

2. Rotation of the mounting bracket to the position as shown below
* The screw holes on the mounting bracket to "cover" the capacitors on the motherboard (image shown with a circle).

The bottom picture is showing the non-compatible retention module. The corner of the retention is round (larger than the compatible retention module), and it is blocking the right and the left side of the VTMS clip holes to be inserted.

*Note: This does not apply to the "Revision B" of the Mine (SCMN-1100) and Samurai Z (SCSMZ-1100) CPU Cooler.
