Hello everyone!

Hope you have a nice day. Found some time to reply to your posts.

@ingmar: I just received a couple Mobos from Gigabyte. The Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R is not included, unfortunately, but the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P. I will do the picky check and set this mobo on the list this week. Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P is compatible as of what I have seen so far. Thanks for your help! I added the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R to the list already.

@Mr_D: Well as you have already experienced, the Heatpipes of Ninja hit the Heatsink from the Mobo. That is the only reason it is not compatible. The performance has nothing to do with it. But there are possibilities, that the pressure of the big NB Cooler from the Asus M2N32 Sli Deluxe is pressing the Ninja a bit up and the contact is not perfect. Please be careful not to damage the Heatpipes of Ninja. Damaging one Pipe means to damage a full U-Heatpipe, which is decreasing the performance pretty bad already. As for the mentioned temps, I don't really call this bad, as you have to consider that you got a X2 6000+. This CPU got 130W, which is already like the peak of the wattage you get in the Desktop environment. I would call the temps not really bad, but you can maybe improve them probably. Please make sure that there is a good airflow inside your PC chassis. Just make a small test, run the temp monitoring tool, watch the temps, and then open the side panel of the chassis to see if the temps go down.

@imago: That's a bit difficult, because the Ninja PLUS has the pipes sticking out of the retention module just a bit, but the capacitors are usually very close on AM2 mobos and they also are the high versions, which makes it sometimes a problem.
GIGABYTE GA-MA69G-S3H: Should be OK, 80% sure compatibility
GIGABYTE GA-MA69GM-S2H: Capacitors are closer, maybe like 70% compatibility chance
SAPPHIRE PURE Element PE-AM2RS690MH: Difficult, the memory is close too. I would rather say it is 50% compatible, so it is a gamble.

aimfox: It should be fine, this mobo looks safe to me.

Greets,
Andy
