Every support is appreciated and would help other users as well so please feel free to supply any useful compatibility tips, pictures.

Disclaimer:
Please note that this compatibility may not apply to all the motherboards as the 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.

Is there any compatibility data about the two motherboards below?
ASUS P5K-VM
GIGABYTE GA-G33M-DS2R
As I can see the Samurai Z should fit on the ASUS P5K-VM just fine, but in the case of GIGABYTE GA-G33M-DS2R I'm not really sure, because from the pictures of the motherboard the Northbridge heat sink seems to be somewhat closer to the socket. What do you think about it?
Thanks in advance!

Hi qwertz,

The ASUS P5K-VM should be fine, I can't see any issues with this motherboard. As for the Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R, it seems a bit more troublesome but yet the Samurai Z should fit here as well.

Hi Andy,

Thank you for quick response! My Samurai Z Rev. B should arrive during this week. Next week I'm going to order the motherboard. After that I'll post here some information about the results.

Hi,

Yes please give us some feedback as soon as you have tested the compatibility. Thanks!

[qwertz]

Hi,
Now I can confirm that Samurai Z Rev. B is compatible with the Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R Rev. 1.0 motherboard.

[HavloR]

Please, where cooler is the best (or compatible) for motherboard MSI
PT880 Neo Series MS-7008 v1.X?
Thanks

[Paul_Trunks]

Abit IP35-E--will it work?
Thanks

[Shinigami]

Hi there.

qwertz: Thanks for your compatibility confirmation.

HavloR: MSI PT880 Neo should be compatible to the Samurai Z. I don't see any issues here.

Paul_Trunks: Abit IP35-E should be ciompatible to Samurai Z as well. The layout is not complicated.
