hi!
I just bought a andy samurai and a gigabyte Ulta Durable 2 p35-DS4 (rev1.0) and now i'm realy wondering how you managed to attach the samurai to the motherboard.
the passive cooling fins on the motherboard are about 1cm (~1/4 inch) too high.. i can twist n turn the samurai where ever i want. I have no chance to get full contact to the CPU. (btw: the picture on the official gigabyte website doesn't match the look of my motherboard.)
edit: i found a page that shows the Cooling pipes and fins für my motherboard. it's german but i think the picture gives you an idea of the problem:
