motherboard compatibility?

i'm gonna be taking my sys apart in the not too distant future, and i'll probably use a bolt-mounting kit in putting it back together. either the SCURK01, or one from thermalright that looks like it'd work just as well. (uses the pushpin's plate, but incorporates a backplate and a spring-loaded bolt setup)

also, i'd recommend you do the same thing as me, and try to suspend some of the weight of the ninja. massive downward pressure on the processor core isnt so necessary for heat transfer, but even pressure is. besides, doing this will cure some of the ninja's propensity for bending the motherboard, or slipping out of the pinholes, or worse. worst case scenario, it keeps a .5 kilo heatsink from smacking into your video card at full force.

Good idea! I have a SCURK1 on order. . .

Hey

Fayd:
Thanks for confirming the compatibility. I'll update the list soon and will include that one.

The temps look fine or more like perfect to me, if you don't forget the heating of CPU and the ambient temps.

We work on the Push-Pins, had a lot of discussions here already...you can check some threads.


cradcliffe:
Asus A8N-E might fit but the capacitor's are very close to the socket, I am a bit concerned. You might need to bend them, but this is something a bit risky.

GIGABYTE GA-M61P-S3 has the capacitor's with a bit more distance but the same problem, I can't really say if this is going to work 100% without bending the capacitor's.

Cheers!

Hello I saw it on the compatibility list that its compatible with Gigabyte K8NS. But what about Gigabyte K8NS-939 GIGABYTE - Support - Motherboard - BIOS - GA-K8NS-939 That is my motherboard. I am concerned about the cooler not fitting , so i dont know if i should buy or not
