Hi all just wanted to see what coolers actually fitted to the Gigabyte GA_P35_DQ6, I understand the tuniq fits looking at ollys pictures. But do any top cpu cooler fit with no problems ?

Thanks in advance.

It can get very tight in there.
I use the P35 DQ6 with one of the Zalman HSF units.
I had to do some creative bending with a few of the fins around the actrual fan on the Zalman.
I also removed the very top "wafer" from the Crazy Cool HSF on the actual motherboard as I was happier then about contact between Zalman & CPU.

I would like to stay away from bending tbh. The scythe ninja rev B plus just plugs straight in according to the scythe website, Its looking my best option.

thanks for your reply anyone else ?

is it possible to remove the metal padding on the underside of the DQ6?
im planning to get on, but will be placing a waterblock on their. but worried about the fanless pad gigabyte have attached.

found my answer:
