| It depends what version your board is, but it will fit. Some people said they needed to grind a little for clearance with some surface mount component and others didn't. Personally (having the vantec same as you) I used the passive copper heatsink from the kit. I don't know if more Vdd makes the SB hot but atm its not.

| im using the larger copper heatsink on my Southbridge too. I was told it does nothing. if the Epox stock NB one fits i would put that on with some AS3

I don't know about v1.0 boards but if you have a v1.1 then hacking is the only way.

| The holes for the pins are pitched exactly the same as the NB and therefore will be compatible.
