Type 3 has the shortest "big side" of 58mm and "short side" of 46mm. Types 1 & 2 each have "big sides" of 84mm. Type 2 has the longest "small side of 70mm while type 1 has a 61mm "small side", and type 3 has the smallest "small side" of 46mm.

I will look into what I used but I do remember the ones I used had clrearence issues with the slide on brakets around the rear mossfets so I made my own bracket from steel BBQ barb skewer with 3mm holes or through bolts from bottom. Thet fit so much snugger then ever. I had to do it first on my old ASUS A8N-SLI cause we had only the 1 ytpe to choose (the ones from my ASUS P5WDG2-WS) and had to even trim the copper base a notch to fit my bolts in.

Hope this helps, again, I will look if you dont find the right size by then.

Also, you can still get the Intel 82801 ICH9R iostar RAID driver installed on current OS but it is trickier, and especially sine we ahve no 2nd SATA controller to use. I'll explain more if needed, here for others or in PM if you'd like.

Good luck!
Well what a saga. It would appear I have the type 1 versions of the HR-09 and the other two types are not available in the UK from what I can tell. I have been on to the UK distributor to see if some can be sent over from abroad... I may end up just fitting the original Asus mosfet back on by the look of it though!

Have fitted both of the NB/SB HR-05 IFX now and I am just about to fit the Ultra 120 eXtreme to the CPU. Only concern with the NB was that the base of the heatsink didn't cover the whole chip. I guess thats normal for these though?

It has given me an excuse to route the cables and have a bit of a tidy up but I just want it all back together now for the weekend!!
