Help w/ CPU cooler for Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P.

[defwhig]

Hi guys,

I just received my Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P and was in the process of installing my CPU heat sink when I realized it wasn't going to fit on the motherboard. I was using a Thermalright Ultima-90 and there is a heatsink on the motherboard that won't allow me attach it to the bracket.

Can anyone suggest a CPU cooler that will fit this board?

Thanks!

I was going to get the same board until the GA-EP45-UD4P went on sale for the same price.

Comparing pictures of those 2 to my GA-P35C-DS3R I'd assume the Noctua NH-U12P SE2 would fit them as it does this board.

Or consider the H50. That should not interfere with any mobo HSs.
