    Does anyone know if my mobo

    MSI 790fx

    will be able to fit the Sunbeam Heatsink properly?

    Sunbeam


    I hear alot of people have issues with getting it to fit on they're mobo.


    by the way I have the Haf 932 cooler master case so Case space isnt really an issue.

    From the pictures I'd guess yes, low profile capacitors around the socket. Only concern would be the MOSFET heatsink.

    Should be fine; but ya I believe the Northbridge heatsink may end up a problem but its doubleful looks like a low heatsink. But the Sunbeam doesn't look too wide, should be good. If it was like a V8 it may be a problem.
