** Official ** Gigabyte UD3 P45 Series -- EP45-UD3 / EP45-UD3R / EP45-UD3P

[PortCitySlim]

I think I remember Jor3lBR using one on his.

Thanks, I just found this review about it on newegg... I am going to order one tonight from newegg $134. I am tired of my old P5Q Deluxe. I hope you guys can help me relearn to overclock this thing and my Q9650.

If you're wondering, "Will this thing fit on NewEgg's customer choice award winning GIGABYTE EP45-UD3P motherboard?" The answer is YES! (contrary to what you've read on the internet!) but it's a mind-boggling "how did I get that to work" tight fit. You have to remove the chipset/other heatsink/heatpipe component FIRST, then install this CPU heatsink, then CAREFULLY (watch those motherboard capacitors!) slide the chipset heatsink assembly back in between the CPU heatsink and motherboard components. There's a groove in one of the heatsinks of this assembly that a part of the CCTF's bracket slides (with a little friction) miraculously into. The whole thing defies logic but works perfectly.
