Read what I posted above. I built this machine when that mobo had just been released. There were no tech reviews saying what heat sinks would fit and it was a concern brought up in the one review that I read. Stating that a few they had on hand didn't fit.

Because of that I never ordered a heat sink when I built the machine I just used the OEM one, and never changed it out because I never had issues until now. Everything in this machine is high end when I built it, with the exception of the heat sink.
