Zalman CNPS9500?

[dude112]

This is my mobo and as you can see the place where the cpu is suppose to be is quite high unfortunatly. The Zalman product are to big and the space between CPU and PS is just not enough.

 

[mike4realz]

your mobo is not even listed in the compatible list at zalman's website. so it won't fit

well looks like youll just have to go for either a xp-90 perhaps...

I like good cooling and all but man I hate the look of copper coolers I like the alminum coolers look better more sleek

[dude112]

It's really hard to see from a real picture so I'm using this.
The clips 5 A/B, 6A/B seem to be too high and won't make it to 7D etc. They stick out a bit above that.
Am I suppose to use brute force to make it fit or will that damage the cpu?

i believe there may bwe a bit of force needed to coerce them in. My beiggest recomedation is to simply read the instructions...
