Introduction:
There was a thread about this beautiful Mini ITX motherboard on extremesystems, but TPU deserves one too.
CPU Coolers who'll fit on this mothboard:
Corsair H50,fits but standard backplate need's some modding. doesn't block pci-e/ memory slots.
CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus , doesn't block pci-e slot, can be hard to install when using memory with large heatspreaders
Thermalright Venomous X,apparently fits no info available on if it blocks the pci-e / memory slots.
Thermalright AXP-140, fits doesn't block pci-e/ memory slots.Perfect for using in a Lian LI PC-Q08
Scythe Shuriken, fits doesn't block pci-e but blocks memory slot
Prolimatech Samuel 17 , fits, doesn't block pci-e blocks but memory slots when using memory with high heatspreaders.
Scythe Ninja 3, fits but blocks pci-e slot.
Nexus Low-7000 aka Nexus Low-7000 R2, fits but blocks memory slot when using memory with high heatspreaders, blocks pci-e slot but can be solved by bending the heatsink a bit. Perfect for using in a Low profile case.
Mosfets cooling with heatsicks
