After a lot of trial and error, I found that the Arctic cooling alpine 64 fits beautifully. I had a lot of trouble with finding a decent, quiet cooler because of the northbridge cooler! Sorry if you think this is a silly post.

no thats a great post. We really need a descent database of what coolers fit which motherboards (if there is one let me know!) as im going to be getting uATX 939 board soon and would love to know whats the biggest zalman i can fit on it.

I think that if you ask them reeeeaaaally nicely, and they're not too busy, Scan will commandeer a board/heatsink out of stock to test compatibility...I know they've done this on occasion in the past, so it may be something to bear in mind

ill bear it in mind unfortunately scan dont have the best selection of uATX cases, so i was possibly-maybe thinking of ordering from e*uyer. and can someone tell scan that even if a case is aluminium it can still go in the uATX category?

i mean "Casebuy Black Micro ATX Case With 450W PSU" for 49.99 is a fantastic price. and knocks £10-20 off most places Qpack prices with a better psu.

kewl stuff...I'll bear it in mind..care to share the list of unsuccesful attempts...If somebody else would like to dive into this kind of things.
