My MB (Asus Sabertooth Z77) has shrouding over the MB. How does this attach? Clearance is limited. TIA.

That mobo has that large black plate or heat spreader on it I don't think it will fit you might have to mod the stand for the fans but they way it sits is it just hold into the end tabs that hold the ram down its just sits over that I have the gig G1 sniper 5 mobo and for me I want to to be more tight to hang onto the ram tabs so I bent it a bit so it was more snug on there if you want a plug and play fit I don't thing this will be the one it won't fit if you don't mind modding the fan a bit go for it

it has a slight spring load to it snaps on over onto the memory should fit into the notches that are above the slot they are plugged into

I have an Intel Z87 MB and my RAM cooler simply clips onto the lock tabs on the memory module slots. Bent slightly the arms of the cooler to make it hold a little tighter.

Depending on the shouding, you may have to modify/trim the shrouding to fit this fan over the Ram Chip Clips. Keep in mind that the fan holding prongs are wider than the typical bank of 4 Ram headers.The It is possible that this unit will not work with your shrouding though (it depends on if you can cut the shrouding without compromising it/other components).

It was difficult enough to mount this mother board in very small (micro ATX) computer case. The reason is that, a cable for a hard drive afterinserting it in the socket is situated in mother board plane. Such a position increases dimensions of mother board effectively. I have usedcomputer case in which power supply is situated in the bottom of the case so I was forced to do an opening in case of power supply for thecable.I am not English speaking so it is quite possible there are some mistakes in my text. Sorry.

it anchors to the board with metal brackets that are provided. as long as the device is anchored to board and the board is connected well to the chassis this works well. if still feel like could be issue. you could always use black tie wraps attach to the plastic housing and anchor to a side wall of the chassis to release load on motherboard.

It is CRAP send it back. I went thru 2 of these and they both died so there is a problem they wont admit to on this board. buy ASUS MB they are the best. These people also have crappy support. STAY AWAY form gigabyte (I hope they feel this)

i think the second slot is under the top cover of the computer above the keyboard under the screen, odd place if its the one I'm thinking of. I never bothered to take it apart just for that reason. dumb place for a memory slot.

I too was looking for a bracket of some kind. Not so.There are simply two locations, one on the bottom of the case and one on the motherboard plate that are simply four holes that match up to an SSD and hold the drive sightly offset with a small air space below.

Yes. In mine, the back of the mobo is a bit snug against the panel so installing pci cards required a little more finesse than usual. Otherwise, it's a good fit. I've been quite happy with the case.

I don't think so the fins for this RAM are too tall for the heatsink. Edit: Yeah I agree with the rest of them saying that it really does depend on the board, but your average ATX motherboard puts the RAM slots too close to the CPU slot making it difficult for the heatsink to fit over the RAM.

I had this happen once. One of the ribbon connectors in the middle of the motherboard got folded under the MB when you put it back in. Check and see if there is a connector under the board. It is small and is the one that controls the touch on the digitizer.

That im not to sure of, but why would you want to remove it. It is there for a reason, if your thinking of trying better cooling, just get a ram cooler that mounts on top of them.

Ryan: I am very interested in finding a case, possibly one with a slot load drive. I read you mentioned a case you found but where's the picture of the case? I would love to see it if you could please provide me a link or photo. Thanks so much. -cindy

Yes, It the MB must be removed plus you must remove the springs of 3 of attachment screws and shim them with nuts and where the springs were and screw them in 1st in order to hold the Heat Sink in place while you attempt to screw the 1st screw with a spring on it. If you haven't bought the Thermaltake 21 yet I highly suggest you get Cooler Master Hyper TX3 instead. It costs less, cools better and is installs without removing the Motherboard. Been there done that.

To add to Victor's response. As this card is a full height card, it will not fit small form factor cases even if the motherboad has the correct slot.

As others have said, using angled cables would definitely solve the problem if the ports were to be covered. However, I have an EVGA 670FTW on the first one, and it sticks over the edge of the motherboard by about 1.25 inches.

No, I have a Mini-ATX motherboard with 4 RAM slots. I have 4x1gb in each and there is about a 1 inch cap for me. Unless you have memory that has something on it, etc Corsair Memory, GSkill. You should be fine. I looked up the motherboard and it looks fine. Before I got the fan I was worried that this would happen. After I got the fan I was suprised that there was that big of a cap. You could also turn the heatpipes into a vertical state. So you shoudld be go to go!

You don't need to remove the motherboard if you have cut space in the back of the case. That's because there are 4 long screws you have to pass through the MB.

Yes, I have a similarly sized Maximus Formula mobo. The only issue I ran into was the small wifi card that came with the mobo didn't fit unless I took off the tiny metal shield.
