Glacialtech UFO v51 Cooler Doesn't Fit BOXDX58SO Motherboard

[Apoptosis]

Legit Reviews uses the Intel BOXDX58SO LGA 1366 Intel X58 Express powered Motherboard to test all of our CPU Coolers and we found yet another cooler that doesn't work right on it.

This time around we found that the Glacialtech UFO V51 CPU Cooler won't fit as the mounting brackets don't clear objects on the board...

Here are a couple pictures..

No big deal we can just mount it on the other side as an LGA 1366 socket is a perfect square...

Oh crap, that won't work either...

This heatsink should flunk... I mean it won't fit the Intel board and Intel made the specification requirements for this socket... unreal... Glacialtech if you are reading this please follow Intel design guidelines.
