i am planning to get a CPU Cooler for my comp. Planning to get either Scythe Infinity or Zalman CNPS9500-LED, but i am more tend toward CNPS9500-LED. the problem now is i am not sure whether Zalman CNPS9500 can fit into my mobo or not due to 'Dual Power System 2' card that located beside my processor socket. can you guys have a look and advise me on this? i already pm moderno and zalman official but they didnt provide me with any answer. that's why, i am asking it here.

edited: considering xp 90C too now.

My Mobo Official Website (GA-8KNXP)

picture from my casing

Hmm....Infinity will not fit on it..Donno about the zalman one.

there goes one of my option. sigh sigh..

Damn, that DPS sure block users from using nice nice heatsink...

ya lo... sad case.. any recommendation for me?

I don't dare to recommend a heatsink for you as a slight bigger, then it won't fit in you're motherboard...

Afraid later you will blame me for it...

errr.... at least give me some brand, so that i can do some research ma. currently looking at xp 90C. looks small enough to fit my mobo

try to measure the space u have
and refer to the size of the heatsink, u can get their measurements from their official website.... maybe some only..
worth giving a try

did that... seem zalman 9500 and infinity cannot fit because the fan from DPS block their way. SIGH... is this true? *i hope this is not.

if xp-90c sure fit one...

hmmm.... BUT overclock paradise selling at RM245. so expensive btw dont know can fit my future processor or not. (Core 2 Duo or Kentfield)

Offcourse can fit in C2D or Kentsfield, as those processors still uses LGA775 platform...


You just have to buy an Optional LGA775 Retention Module, then you're done...

oh i see... so basically is xp 90C that good to justify its price. (RM245) more expensive than Infinity and 9500
