I paired this motherboard with the with the pentium g3220.The stock heatsink did not fit in the holes so I returned it.Did anyone else have this issue

Nope. I used an i5-4570 with this board and it didn't have any problems with the stock Intel heatsink...

We'll make sure in your mother board the pins where that USB 3.0 goes are not bent or anything. Other than that I'm not sure what could those issues. Total guess in maybe a short in the 3.0 USB. I can understand that you want those working but I believe even after I loaded all my drivers/chipsets n at those USB "kinda" work for me. Not always recognizing the USB 3.0 I plug into it. I always use the 3.0 I have built into my motherboard. Also thermaltake customer support can help sometimes. you can proceed with your build and don't let that 2x USB 3.0 bother you. Get to gaming!

I wouldn't suggest overclocking with the stock heatsink I've always read that it is unsafe. You void warranty by overclocking so I personally wouldn't risk it.

Nope. That motherboard is older, and it has a different socket. Look up motherboards that have an AM3+ socket in order for this CPU to work.

It fit mine after modifying my case, but I kept getting a blue screen error. Now it's just collecting dust. Stick with the AMD fan!

Yes, it does. Although I ended up using a 3rd-party heatsink that was quieter.

I would suggest going to the manufacturer's site and checking for supported CPUs for that particular board. Contacting the manufacturer may also be a good idea since you have updated the BIOS.

I had the same issue with my Asrock H77 M-ITX board. I had to purchase extra wires and connectors from www.frozencpu.com.

I took a look at that board and those DIMM slots do look awfully close to that socket. Truthfully, this a fairly wide heatsink/fan regardless of the low profile. Personally, I don't think I'd chance it.

I used the Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor G860 LGA 1155-BX806236860 with no problems...Thank that board will work with i7,i5, or i3 intel LGA 1155 socket.

It does. It's just the small aluminum orb that Intel has used for several years. At stock speed the g1620 hardly gets over 40c with the stock heat sink in a mini-itx setup.

No it is not compatible.The AsRock G31M-VS motherboard uses an LGA 750 socket while the processor is an LGA 1150 socket.

I do not own the other motherboards to compare but I had to return ARRock 990FX Extreme4 because it did not post.

i tried it on my AMD (crosshair V formula Z)board and it wasnt long enough.. however once i switched to an intel mobo (maximus vii hero), it fit perfectly. i hope that helps

I seem to have no problem on this same motherboard with the CPU. There is a hot fix out there for it.

My memory has heatsinks on top. I am using CORSAIR DOMINATOR GT memory. With 4 slots on each side of my CPU, I was only able to use 2 on each side. I had to squeeze this thing in between the memory I did use. You can adjust the height of the fans if you need to. Good Luck!

No, but I recommend you that you have to dismount the CPU Cooler, clean very well the surface of the CPU and CPU Cooler. Buy a good thermal compound like Arctic Silver and install all again. Check very well the brackets supports between motherboard and CPU Cooler.
