GA-P35-DS3R and Tuniq Tower 120

I read a review on xbitlabs I think it was and they said the back on this mobo had like some stuff on it that went through the mobo so some coolers might have difficulty fitting. I would like to know if the Tuniq Tower has any problems. Thanks

I have that setup and it works just fine. If you have big fingers however you may have to work a bit to use the screw in the corner next to the NB heatsink.

Thank you.

One suggestion from my experience with a P35-DS3P and the Tuniq. Don't screw down the PSU until you make all your power connections. This made it much easier to get my hands in to make connections. There's not much room between the TT and the back of the case.

Thanks. Made a mental note to self.

another tip when fitting the Tuniq, undo the 4 small phillips screws on top of the cooler, they're the ones that lock the 120CM fan in place, pull the fan up out of the cooler by approx 3" and use anything to wedge it in that raised position (i use the handle of the screwdriver) your fingers now have more room to manouver when screwing down those brass thumbscrews, when you're done remove the screwdriver push the fan back down and lock in place withe the 4 phillips screws.
