Mugen on MSI P35 Neo2-FR?

De Lang · #1 (**permalink**) 11-12-2007, 08:05 PM

Hello,
I come from Germany, so excuse my English. I want to ask if the Mugen fits on a MSI P35 Neo2-FR Mobo by using the Scythe retention Module? I bought the Mugen, but I don�t know if it fits,because I haven�t bought the Board yet. I didn�t find anything in the compatibility list about this board. If it wil not fit, I will buy another board e.g. GB P35 DS3 R.
Thank you for helping me and
Best regards

Hi and wellcome De Lang.

Unfortunately I couldn't get this Mainboards (mobo) yet, there are simply to many mobos on the market. MSI P35 Neo2-FR should be compatible with Mugen and Retention Kit. The heatsink on the mobo seem to be not tall and I would rate this as 90% chance of compatibility.

Cheers,
Andy

Hello,
I justgot my Mobo and I tried if the Mugen is compatible. In my opinion it only works when you put it the "long way" that means: The Mugen with its long side parallel with the RAM slots, the other way seems a bit tricky, because of the 8pin ATX connector. I hope everybody can understand it.

i got the mobo now, mugen fits easily, but if the fan is mounted to blow air to backside of chassis u cant use the first ram slot. but all 3 others are easy available

Ploost: Which RAM do you have? It should work, but fan would be just above the ram, which is not a problem as fat as I know. You can use it, but mount RAM first and then the fan. It will only not work if you have RAM with super huge coolers on them
