Questions for Ninja 2 (SCNJ-2000)

[gpontikakos]

Hello all,

I would like to ask a few questions concerning the Ninja 2 and a new system I am about to build.

The case is Antec's Mini P180
Asrock MB M3A790GMH
and an AMD Phenom II x4 965 processor.

My first question is if the Ninja 2 is going to fit in this system and especially the motherboard.
The second question is, does Ninja 2 fit the AM3 socket of the processor?
It is hard to find here in Greece the Ninja 2 Rev.B and still I don't know if that fits AM3 socket.

Thank you in advance,
George

Hello,

for you motherboard you can use the Ninja 2, i think it is no problem with compatibility. Only what we never can tell someone it´s the question about placement in cases. Every one who produce cases have his own system and logic, so we can´t say "Hey with this case, you will have no problem". In this situation i think you try it, whit Antec's Mini P180 and can give some feedback or you calculate the dimensions together if you have the case at home.
You can find the dimensions here: Ninja 2 dimensions

I am almost sure about the case. I wasn't sure about the motherboard (the socket) and the ram modules. In a few days we will know for sure!

Finally the system is build.
Motherboard: ASRock M3A790GMH/128M
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955
RAM: AData 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3-1600
The Ninja 2 Rev. B cpu cooler is fully compatible with this system.
Idle temperature is at 31 degrees Celsius.
Running some benchmarks to increase the cpu temp, it didn't go over 50 degrees.
The coolest thing is that these temps are maintained without the cooler fan installed.
