Thanks, I added the Mobo to the List.

Katana 2 works fine on a Gigabyte P35-DS3 with the Universal ret. Kit.

There is just a little contact, but nothing bent or so. I attached a picture of it.

I assembled the Katana 2 with the "loose" hooks on the side "to chassis back" - maybe there's no touch vice versa, I don't know.

cab anybody tell me wether the ninja cu works with the asus p5e?

[fr7]

Sorry for the double post but I just can't help it, as I'm willing to place my order as soon as possible.
Could you pretty please let me know if the Mugen is compatible with this board ( Asus M3A ) and if there's enough space considering the memory ( OCZ Reaper HPC Edition ) below:

Just in case it wouldn't fit, does any other Scythe cooler work on the board then?

Hey there,

i just wanted to say that the scythe ninja mini works well with the asus m2n32 SLI Deluxe mainboard except of one RAM bracket is no longer usable or the module would have contact with the cooler.
also the adjustment of the brackets to hook the cooler up on the retention bracket is 1 step to high so you have to put them in the middle slot to have the optimum height so the cooler holds perfectly

€: and sorry my english is not the best but i hope you know what i want to say

for a better understanding here is the picture which parts i mean

Hi there.

Time to post some replies =)

Herb74: Thanks for your help. The link is set as well. Thanks for the help!

Slicer: ASUS P5E should be fine with Ninja Cu, as it seem to work even with normal Ninja.

fr7: Mugen should be compatibile to the Asus M3A. The RAM from OCZ might not fit with Mugen when you put them to the slots close to the socket. But in worst case you can switch them to the other 2 slots.

skuzzle: I udnerstand you well, no problem at all As for the brackets, it might be that your clip was wrong adjusted, it happens sometimes. Yet thanks for your understanding and help.

Thanks for replying. Yeah, that's what I thought, let's wait and see.
Vielen Dank

I should have added the following, just in case:

4 Fan Mounting Choice
Users can choose from 4 possible direction to mount the fan to get the best performance out of ********!

So it might prove useful in the end.

[Shinigami]

Yeah that should be fine. Ideally you should use the fan on the longer side, that gives more performance.

If this is similar to the:
ASUS P5K AiLifestyle Series iP35 Socket 775

It is incompatible if you want to use it the right way round: so that it exhausts to the rear of the case (which is the way recommended in the Scythe manual) otherwise if you want it to blow up and down the case, then you should be able to fit it. YMMV!

The exact problem is here (indicated with a yellow arrow) this component is less than 1mm above the height of the heat sink, however this is enough.

To scythe: please put this motherboard down as NOT compatible to save others further frustation.

I'm somewhat suprised that the compatabiltity list from the Mine has still not been updated since the 11th of January to relect the above. I know one other person who has been effected by this problem. I have a suggestion: It seems to me Scythe have spent a good deal of time making IMO good efficient and quiet CPU coolers, but they haven't really thought enough about (1) compatability and (2) Maintenance. (1)For compatability Scythe say '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'. I suggest a simple tool and a diagram would allow users to find out whether their motherboard was compatible. The problem is that the cooling unit is so large that you cannot see whether it is going to hit some components without installing it. And doing that may damage some components or bend the motherboard itself.
However, using the simple tool shown in this diagram this may be avoided.



(1) Maintenance: The fan is held in place by two screws. In order to remove the fan for cleaning, the cooler has to be removed from the motherboard (or the motherboard removed from the case). Both difficult tasks. If instead on two screws they were replaced by a single extended screw as shown in (B) with a knob on the end, it would be possible to reach down and loosen it and simply slide the fan out sideways.
I hope this is all clear and I hope, useful
