Question 1

Where do you rig this at without it being in the way of something?

Accepted Answer

Depends on your motherboard.  On my G34 Dual board, it fits fine.  It's a bit tight and it fits over the normal RDIMMS.  If you have some type of heatsink that sticks out, you'll have problems.  Also, you may have to install the RDIMMs prior to putting on the heatsink or take the fans off when installing the RAM.  You can also mount the heatsink 90 degrees offset based on how you install the fastening brackets, meaning it you can set it up pointing the fans from the front to the back of your case or left to right.

Good luck.

Question 2

Is this (4) four fans or just (1) one fan?

Accepted Answer

lol neither. theres a fan on both sides. just make sure you have the airflow going the right way. blow the air AWAY from your graphics card and towards a case fan if you can. also you want the airflow going through the heatsink and not both blowing out or in. like this:
air flow  --> [ ] -->
just plug it in and make sure

Question 3

Can anyone verify that this cooling system will fit on a SuperMicro H8SGL-F-O motherboard? This is a single CPU G34 socket type. I'm assuming it will, but it looks a little tight.

Accepted Answer

I used it on a SuperMicro but I don't remember what model.  I have used it on two different SuperMicro.  And the positioning is adjustable

Question 4

I know it says socket G34, but does anyone know if this will mount with a 1150? The reason is, because I'm limited by a 125mm height, and I want to be able to turn the heatsink for better airflow in my case.

Thanks!

Unlike the majority of cpu coolers on the market, this one is meant to fit one market - opterons. Part of the problem is a G34 cpu is bigger than most desktop sockets, so the base of the heatsink has to be bigger to cover the cpu. Presuming it would even fit on your 1150 socket without running into other components on the motherboard, you still have the problem of mounting hardware - this only has hardware for a G34 socket. Don't waste your time. Find something else.
