Dimensions on CPU area for Asus P5N-E SLI?

Wiggins · 13 Mar 2007 at 21:05

Hi

I'm looking to get a decent HSF for my cpu but dont know the dimensions for that area as the heatsink for the northbridge is pretty damn big. Does anybody know what they are?

Cheers

I havnt measured the dimensions but a TT120 fits and the scythe ninja fits if you file away a little bit of the mounting bracket so that it avoids a row of capacitors. Both are top end air coolers

What HSF have you got on yours?

I was looking at the Scythe Ninja but the jpeg put me off as it looked just a little too tight towards the capacitors?

Ive got Skythe Ninja rev b didnt have any problems fitting it on this board no mods were needed it over hangs the northbridge a bit but doesnt touch it

Just to confirm that A Tuniq tower fits the rev "d" board out of the box but on the latest board 1.01G you have to file the H bracket which is very simple and takes approx 15 mins if you take your time

Hope this helps

I have a scythe Ninja on the G version of this board. I filed away a bit of the bracket (10 mins work) because when i fitted the Ninja although the pins all clicked into place it looked like the bracket was resting on top of them so to be on the safe side i filed a bit of it off.

I have the 'rev g' board.

I'll give the Scythe Ninja a blast and see what happens. Better get the metal file out for the morning

Thanks for your feedback guys
