2 questions again.......... 1. can I use a 4 X 2gb kit on this board........ 2. will this board fit into my Coolermaster C5 case?

although it will probably take the 8 gb of RAM.. I don't think this is a mobo for a micro case...my Coolermaster is a full ATX and it just made it.

The board has 4 slots and you can put up to 8gb in, but all of it may not be recognized depending on the OS. If you have 32 bit Windows, it'll only recognize about 3.5gb. 64 bit Windows can recognize all 8gb. The C5 case is an ATX case, so the board should fit fine.

The board size is 9.6in x 11.6 check it out. My SWAG is that the 4x2gb will work.

The board will run any DDR 2 800 for 1600 speed RAM s timing of 5 5 5 or5 56. it will fit into any full size ATX case

I bought this motherboard for my media computer, so I use it often. When I installed 4GB total, in all four slots, it probably overloaded the memory bus, which led to very poor performance. You might get away with only using 3 out of the 4 slots. Or you might need to update the bios. I also have a fairly decent video card, which could also be part of the problem.So on paper, you should be able to install 8GB of RAM, but in reality, you might not be able to. It is old technology, so you might have a hard time finding a useful bios update. Good luck.

Cooler Master has a power supply sizing utility on their website that seems reasonable -- they do have a vested interest since they sell power supplies. I am a satisfied customer only. FWIW.

yes, your Motherboard has 4 slots and can take 16 gigs, more then that and the forums differ in there success rate of getting 32 gigs to work

I used a GA-Z87X-UD5 TH. It fits but you don't have a lot of room. I ran as much wiring as I could first, then the mobo, then installed the 240mm (120mm sbs) liquid cooler and finally the gtx 760 card. You will not have a lot of room with a cooler like I described, and if you plan to install a fan at the top of the case you're going to be tight against some graphivs cards. I installed an Nvidia GTX 760 (02g-p4-2765-kr) and it's a very close fit.

Wait, this MB won't be compatible with RipJaws and a Hyper 212? If so, I'm screwed. I guess I report back later if I couldn't fit the ram and the fan ... :(.

You should be able to use one 8gb stick but I have two of these boards and I have had problems using 4gb sticks but i've never used two of them at the same time but I know that it's just a bit more that a coincidence that both brand new sticks of 4gb did not work in either board. So i'm not sure if it will work for you or not. I use two 2gb sticks on both boards.

Looks that way. Here's a build with corsair pro series mem and that cooler - http://pcpartpicker.com/b/NQjXsYAlso a close up screen shot: http://cdn.pcpartpicker.com/static/forever/images/userbuild/77728.b1a24f5062662cd6304f73aea92df294.cd0b1fb3efe5864472ef205f8d51fd0b.jpg

Check your motherboard's configurations for CPUs. This fit my Asus SLi board but it all depends on what processor you use. This is rated for FM1/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2/940/939/754 processors and is famous for allowing plenty of room without conflicting with memory or video cards. It has great hieght clearance from the board but you wish to use a good case and not a mini (mATX) as this is a TALL heat sync and fan but allows perfect cooling for demanding systems. Make sure to use a case with adequate fan cooling side and rear and even top cooling fan if you can, but not necessarily necessary. :) But as for your question, you should be okay with that board. It seems to be a matter of Case clearance more than board.

My socket is 423, Intel 58 chipset. Suggest looking at Coolermaster website for complete specs. This is a VERY tall fan, so make sure it will fit your case and not block cards.

I can't find any specs but if you're buying a new mother board it should fit. Plus its very roomy if you have to bodge things a bit. Keep an eye on newegg to see if they end up listing specs for it.I know I had no problems fitting anything in it.

You can play with the distance you put between the cooler and the ram modules. I'm sure it will fit

The tower is pretty big. It has a lot of room for expansion, I'm almost 100% sure it will fit but go to cooler masters website and look up the dimensions to make sure it will.

No this is an ATX size board. You need a Mini-ITX motherboard for that case.

I have one installed on my sons pc. He has the enforcer case. Cooler master uses an odd "bolt pattern" if you will with their 200mm fans and I'd say with my experience if its cooler master and has the bolt pattern it will fit. That being said look at the pictures of the fan and then pull the front bezel off your case and look at how it mounts. It should measure 8 5/8" center to center for the mounting points. Sorry I don't have a mm tape measure. There are other mounting point also. 8 3/8" between those. Measure your screw holes on the case and if it's one of those. It should fit. Good luck these are great fans and push tons of air. I have one installed on my sons pc. He has the enforcer case.

I can only tell you it fit's in my CoolerMaster HAF 912 (which is a huge case). There is not a lot of room to spare - about 1/2 inch if i remember correctly. At work right now. This is a VERY LONG CARD. If you are concerned about this fitting, I'd make VERY sure it fits before ordering.
