Hi there!

Some statement from me coming up next.

Els: GA-73PVM-S2H seems to be in the "OK" range and the compatibility chance is here around 90%. So I can not find any issues. The heatsink on the Northbidge is the typical Gigabyte heatsink which never caused trouble until now.

Gilb: The RAM will not be a problem but Ninja PLUS as it is now, will hit the capacitors with the Heatpipe. There is a chance, that if you push them a bit away, that that will work fine but then I can not guarantee anything. In most cases people just push away the capacitors as if you are careful, nothing will happen.

FatBack: Check your PMs, I sent you one. Short answer for everyone: If it is Socket 939, then OK, but AM2 is not compatible. Other coolers should work fine as long as they are designed for standard sockets like 939 and 478.

Ramius: Thanks for the info. I have updated the list with a link to your statement. Thanks!

shadow: See answer to Els regarding the Gigabyte Mobo. ASUS P5E-V/P5E-VM HDMI looks safe as well. My rating would be around 90% compatibility chance.

Cheers,
Shinigami
