I recently started a threat a little bit back regarding if this will fit or not. But the Tuniq Tower will indeed NOT fit on the mobo. Having said this however there is a workaround. There are two K8 tabs on each side of the H plate, removing these from the mounting bracket will allow the heatsink to fit properly (youll need something to cut steel). This might be common knowledge regarding this mobo but just giving a heads up in case someone makes the same mistake I did.

you have to shave down the bracket where the k8 holes are can be done easily with some tools laying around your garage

edit lol did you break the the bracket?

I just weakened them because I had nothing to cut them with, then kept bending it until they broke off. Not an easy task the metal is quite hard.

Edit. No I didnt break it lol. Just tried to cut them a tiny bit using PoS wire cutters. Then bent it back and forth.

If you could take a picture it would probably help with people visualizing what you did. But if not then I am glad it fixed the issue.
