Gigabyte 965p-S3 + Tuniq Tower

[Giraffe]

Hi

I have the Gigabyte 965p-S3

I heard that the Tuniq tower does not fit well on this board, because the capacitors can get in the way or something?

And the DS3 is ok because of the different caps

Does anyone have the Tuniq Tower on an S3? or happen to know if it will work?

I haven't personally, but here's a clip from an article on the S3: "The mainboard uses a three-phase processor voltage regular circuitry built with pretty up-to-date components. However, there are huge capacitors right next to it and later on one of them will cause us some trouble during Tuniq Tower 120 cooler installation. And here is this dramatic difference between the two boards: DS3 mainboard model doesn’t use these huge capacitors. All capacitors there are small and boast better characteristics."

Good luck!
