Mugen 2 rev B + Rampage III Extreme

[Rann]

Anyone knows if this will fit or not ?.. About to buy that motherboard and can't find any source if it fits or not...

Using Google I could very quickly find at least 3 people using exactly his combination.

Looking at the pics of the boards backside and also the Mugen backplate I would also suggest it fits w/o making corrections to the backplate.

Mugen 2 Rev. B: CPU Kühler, Lüfter, Lüftersteuerung, PC Netzteile von Scythe

I'd guess that it works w/o giving you any warranty on this.

As far as I can read (I'm not good at german), they say it might fit, but theres a chip on the backside of the rampage 3 extreme that may, or may not, be in the way..

(Have searched in english only)

Did some more searches in german using google translate, guess it should work, thanks for the idea to search in german

The posting I linked says (in German): Mugen 2 fits this board.

As you can see I already commented on the parts on the backside and that I am quite sure that the hole in the Mugen 2 Rev B backplate is leaving exactly this necessary gap to not hit the mentioned part.
