Gigabyte P67A-UD4 with h50 cooler?

[PU7E]

Does anyone know if the h50 will fit onto the Gigabyte P67A-UD4 fine, as I read in a preview the caps next to the socket are a very close and some coolers have even pushed the caps together.

I want to order the ud4 over the asus pro (know working fine with h50) as it seems a better more reserved board, in the fact they're not rushing to get the bios out as a selling point, when it isn't fully ready, but fear I might be forced to either swap to the asus pro or get a new cooler

One of the members has posted a picture of his H50 mounted on a UD4 board. When I find it again - just so many threads since yesterday - I will link back to here.

Short answer is 'it seems to fit yes;

Sorry to slightly steal the OP's thread. I have a Corsair H50 question also, if that's OK... I have an H50 fitted to a Q6600 (Socket 755). I believe there is a bracket/clip that makes it fit Socket 1156. With Sandybridge now out, will that same bracket work for Socket 1155? I went onto Corsair's site, but could not find anything listed for Socket 1155 compatibility.

Thanks!

The h50 should fit fine. It's more case dependant than mobo. None of the Sandy Bridge mobo's have large heatsinks to obstruct the rad

Yes, 1155 uses the same mounting holes as 1156

It's more the distance from the socket to the capacitors that worries me as the h50 overshoots the chip by around 1.5cm.

The capacitors dont appear any closer than they are on multiple P55 and X58 boards, so I would highly doubt its an issue.

I checked on corsair forum and yes it will fit,its the same as a 1156 so as long as you have the h50-1 you be fine
