Whoever told you it doesn't fit just don't have the patience :P

 

It's fiddely and involves some clever manouvering around bits of the board like the rear IO connectors and that 4 pin ATX power plug, but it fits fine.

Makes the board a bit cramped to work with, but no components come in contact with the heatsink.

The only thing I would like to add is that if you are using a mobile or dtr processor like myself, you will need to shave a bit of the plastic mounting bracket so the heatsink itself will sit low enough to make good contact with the core.

 

Other than that, it runs great on mine.
