Yes I'm running a Giggabyte P35-DQ6 which had just been released when I built this machine. That's the reason I didn't buy a custom cpu cooler when I first built the machine, because there were not many reviews on the mobo and no on had any articles on what heat sinks would fit.
I had planned on buying an aftermarket heat sink but I managed to get the OEM on to work, so I kind of forgot about replacing it until now.
This is pics of what I'm dealing with so I have limited room around the CPU, meaning any aftermarket heat sink would need to go vertical.
