CUSL2 w/ Titan Golden Orb woes

[swematt]

Hello,

I'm interested in either the Asus CUSL2 or CUSL2-C, but some reviews (ocworkbench.com) have made me a little worried that I won't be able to fit my Titan Golden Orb cooler because the capacitors are placed very close to the 370 socket on these motherboards.

Anyone with the same setup that can tell me whether it is indeed a problem or not?
Is the CUSL2-C a tighter fit than CUSL2?

Click on my web below and hit the lab for cusl2

Big problem, very hard to get in.. really tight when you turn...

I have a CUSL2 and golden orb. My golden orb is not by thermaltake, it's by KIW or KWI or something, but I doubt the dimensions are much different. Mine went in fine. I had to lean the closest transistor over a TINY bit to fit it in, but it's okay. They also sell a Golden Orb SLIM FC/PGA fan, should have virtually no problems there.

mine went in fine also but, do you really want to spend the time each time you get a new cpu ?

forcesho,

i took a look at your test page on the CUSL2 and noticed you had an 18" LCD monitor...how much did that baby set you back, and where did you get it? (i know this is a bit off topic, but i had to ask)
