ASUS A8V-E SE compatibility

[EvoFire]

Hi all, I searched already and couldn't find anything.

I have here a ASUS A8V-E SE that's built on the printed board of a A8V-E Deluxe. Just wondering if it will fit, if not I will get the Shuriken 3.

Hello EvoFire,

It look very tight around the northbridge and the mounting nose of the retention modul, but it fits. Maybe the firse Ram slot would be blocked by the cooler, because the slots are realy near to the socket.

So i wish you much fun with your new scythe cooler.

Would it be limited to certain orientations? I have some pretty tall ram, its the CMX512 DDR from Corsair on my board, its the ones with the LEDs on top and they are taller than ur standard DDR ram, would that pose any problems?

Hello EvoFire,

telling if there are limitations regarding orientations is really difficult just from pictures. The only way is: Test it and if it doesn't fit you have to send it back to your reseller.
