Since a few days the onboard sound of my Gigabyte P965-DS4 is dead... Well, now I contacted the company I bought it, and it was possible to return it, and send it over to Gigabyte to repear it, or change it for an other motherboard.
That last once fittet me best, so I start looking around for a good motherboard on their site. Well, after a little bit of searcing, I selected the Asus P5B Deluxe, or an Gigabyte P35-DS4. So I asked one of my friend witch will be better. He said the Gigabyte would be better for me...
Well, thats al nice, but then I start to worry, since I have an Tuniq Tower 120 coming in one of these days.... When I saw some pictures of the P35-DS4, I mentioned the cooling was huge.... 8O So my question now is: Will the combination of the Gigabyte P35-DS4 and the Tuniq Tower 120 fit?

Greetz...

Well, if there's no one who knows if its possible to mount the cooler on to that motherboard, than maybe there is some-one who is able to tell me were I can find the dimentions of this motherboard... If I have those dimentions I can make a 3D model of the board, and see if it will fit with the Tuniq Tower...

So, if there's some-one out there who knows the dimensions of the Gigabyte P35-DS4, will you please give/tell them to me?

Boards are based on standards. ATX, MicroATX, BTX, etc. They will all be roughly the same size within each specification. I believe the ATX boards are 12"x9.6" and the MicroATXs are 9.6"x9.6". What you'll most likely need to worry about then is the room available in the case, as well as the location of the components on the motherboard. Some motherboards have large Chipset fans or capacitors and they can interfere with larger heatsink assemblies.
