Great that it fits, too bad that Mugen is too large for your case...

The mugen fits OK on the Asus P5Q Pro and it's not too hard to reach in to the push-pin connectors when the board is in the case. Picture below. Clearance over the northbridge is about 10mm, same for the heatsink at the back as it is at the same height as the NB (35mm height off the board).

A fan attached in the standard way to blow through to the rear case extractor hangs over the first bank of RAM so you would have to detach the fan to change RAM. Those with an upper extractor (like me) may be better served by installing the mugen the other way around and have the fan blow up and out the top.

Hi,
is Mugen cooler compatible with ASUS M3A32-MVP DELUXE motherboard??? If I place Mugen with fan above RAM memory with passive coolers, will it go together??

Somebody already asked for compatibility - seems to fit:
Mugen Compatibility List

As for the RAM the passive coolers shouldn't be too high. Heatpipes won't work and I'd also be concered about quite high passive elements like on the Dominator RAM modules. Very low stock coolers like these ( Crucial Ballistix DIMM 1GB PC2-5300U CL3-3-3-10 (DDR2-667) (BL12864AA663) Preisvergleich bei Geizhals.at Deutschland ) will surely work.

Thanks for answer, but there´s not ASUS M3A32. If Mugen fit to this motherboard, do I need retention kit for better grip because of bigger weight?

And I use this RAM by GEIL: PC2-6400 DDR2-800 Dual Channel Kit - Products - GeIL Memory . So as you speak with this passive coolers isn´t going to be problems?

These are the posts I linked to (you have to click the link although it is called "comp list" it points to single posts not the list itself):

M3A32 MVP Deluxe Hello everyone,

I wanted to know if a Mugen is compatible to a M3a32 MVP deluxe?
Does anyone have a Mugen + M3A32 MVP Deluxe, or is it possible to use the Mugen on that motherboard anyways? I hope you can help me...

thx
Monkey
Answer:
Quote:
Monkey king: The ASUS M3A32 MVP Deluxe is like "semi-compatible". If you have RAM like Corsair Dominator or those with heatpipes on them, then you will not be able to use the first RAM-Slot. If you have "normal" ram, it should be "OK".
The GEIL memory is safe concerning height and collision with fan.
