Default 8KNXP and Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu CPU Cooler

Works a treat exactly as Bob says.
Quiet? Definitely.
If you want the DPS in, remove the fan - it runs cool anyway.
Also, consider removing the fan for the nortbridge chip.
If you want, put a zalman nb32j on the northbridge *during* assembly for
better cooling.
With a digital sensor on the outside of the nortbridge heatsink during
normal running the stock heatsink with no fan running (but still mounted) is
only a few degrees above ambient.

You *do* need good air circulation for good results with this combo. The
case interior will heat up quite a lot if the disc drives are being pushed
and the airflow is not good. So 2 quiet fans in the front sucking in, 1 in
the back pusing out & 2 zalmans = quiet.

Has any one tried this combination? Do I have to remove the DPS2 or
will the fan/heatsink fit without removing it? Is this the best
heatsink/fan for this board--with my main objective being total
silence with enough cooling to either match or exceed the stock intel
cooling?

I picked up the 6500 all copper unit at CompUSA and am very happy with it.

It is quieter than the intel hs/fan which had developed quite an annoying
high pitched whine.

I simply removed the dps 2's fan to make it all fit.

It will block the first dimm slot.
