I've just ordered this motherboard for my upgrade:
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3R LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
I want to use my old Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu heat sink instead of the stock one that comes with the retail box of the E4400.
I know that I need to buy this kit for it to work with LGA 775 boards:
Newegg.com - ZALMAN ZM-CS1 Clip Support for installation of CNPS7000 series onto Socket 775 - Retail
What worries me are all those barrel transistors next to the CPU socket. Am I going to have a problem or will this adapter fit? Anybody have the same setup?
