Yeah, I saved all the thermal pads, screws and leaf-blower just in case. I'm going to use the stock heatsink with the scythe cooler and see how that works.
*update*
Much lower idle and load temps using stock heat sink.
I included a pic to show how much space is left on a Gigabyte UD3 motherboard after installing a Scythe Musashi.
For me I lost 3 SATA slots because I chose to go with standard 100mm case fans instead of the stock slim ones.
