Aftermarket cooler for GA-P67A-UD3 ?

ivymike · 20 Jan 2011 at 20:41

Hi folks, could someone recommend a cpu heatsink/fan that will physically fit onto this board.. was planning on an Akasa Venom, but heard there can be space problems due to it's slightly smaller than usual ATX size and the closeness of ram sockets / capacitors.

Am talking of the basic UD3 here, not the UD3R / UD3P.

Thanks.

The Akasa Venom is an excellent choice, the Corsair A50 is also a good choice alittle more subtle looking if the bright yellow of the Akasa is too much for you

I'm using the Akasa Venom Nano on Gigabyte P67A-UD4 and its keeping my sandy bridge processor super cool

Sorry to jump in on this thread but would the Thermaltake Frio also fit??

What ram are you using BlueVenom?

8gb of Corsair XMS3 4 X 2GB

The Titan Fenrir fits fine on this board, but be aware the DIMM slot closest to CPU goes under the heatsink so don't think the RAM in this slot will be removable without taking heatsink off first.

Cheers

That RAM seems to a popular choice.

I might have to consider it as it is not tall and most coolers should be OK with it
