ZALMAN CNPS7000A heat sink + A7N8X-Deluxe
Does anybody know if the ZALMAN CNPS7000A heat sink fits in the A7N8X-Deluxe
(vers 2.0) ? I'm thinking of using the Zalman to quietly cool a Barton 2500 running at 200 MHz fsb, multiplier = 11?. currently using stock heatsink from retail processor. current cpu diode temp = 60C (I'm always running folding @home). Any other recommendations for quiet cpu cooling? TIA |

Any other recommendations for quiet cpu cooling? TIA Same motherboard and I have the 7000AlCu. It overhangs the motheboard by maybe 1/2 inch. The warning on the Zalman website for this combination is that it has to clear the power supply. Since I put it in a fairly large case that is no problem. I think it will fit even a standard mid case though. It really doesn't overhang by that much. I was sort of worried about it and got a case larger than I really had to. I would say it is very quiet but should point out that my case has 5 fans (not counting the vid card and two in the PSU) so, over all, it's pretty noisy anyway. I'll kill a few fans soon. It's running around 39c (2500+) at 200*11 so still pretty cool. |

It's a heavy sucker isn't it...
You guys ever worry about too much stress it has on the board? I'd love a quiet HSF... but I am not a risk taker. Jeff "dgk" wrote in message ...

Jeff I got the Aluminum-Copper instead of just the Copper so it isn't that heavy. But as long as it uses the holes instead of clipping onto the socket I think it's a plus. I have no risk of chipping the board trying to get this off in the future. I can't see it cracking the board. I've never even seen anyone write about doing that. I have seen numerous posts about scratching the board trying to get a clippie type off. If I was taking it to lan parties or traveling with it I would maybe have gotten a lighter one but, since it's just going to sit under my desk, no problem. |
