So, whether it will work, really depends on what kind of computer case you are using. Some computer cases allow as little as 1mm of room from the upper edge of the motherboard, to the metal casing of the power supply, and a computer case like that will not allow you to use the Zalman. The motherboard is not the limiting item in this case, it is the spacing of the components inside your computer case. http://www.zalman.co.kr/product/cooler/7000(AB)_478MBlist_eng.htm That web page lists motherboards that are _not_ compatible, so since the P4P800-E Deluxe is not listed, it is safe to use. To protect the fins on the heatsink, it is best to install it, after the rest of the components are installed in your computer case. The screws are relatively easy to install - you should practice first, to see whether you can manage to get them to engage or not, before putting all the components in your computer case. HTH, Paul |

Paul, Thank you very much for your answer. Check here. Note that you need around 1cm clearance from the upper edge of the motherboard, to the metal casing of the power supply.

OK. http://www.zalman.co.kr/product/cooler/7000(AB)_478MBlist_eng.htm That web page lists motherboards that are _not_ compatible, so since the P4P800-E Deluxe is not listed, it is safe to use. I'll hope so. It's possible that the site isn't up to date?! To protect the fins on the heatsink, it is best to install it, after the rest of the components are installed in your computer case. The screws are relatively easy to install - you should practice first, to see whether you can manage to get them to engage or not, before putting all the components in your computer case. Thanks for the hint. If it wouldn't fit, I'll cut the fins with a plate shears. :-) HTH, Paul p |
