zalman cnps9700 / abit question

[dmanlyr]

Can anyone confirm if the Zalman cnps9700 will fit the Abit AN9 32X motherboard?

Thanks, David

For the large CNPS9700 LED heatsink to fit in your computer, there should be no interfering components within 62mm of the center of the CPU (top and bottom directions), and none within 48mm of the center of the CPU towards the front or rear of the case. The Zalman CNPS9700 LED stands 142mm tall, so you need to have at least 150mm space directly above the CPU socket.

Above from a Frost Tech review - that HSF ain't small

here's a link (http://www.legitreviews.com/article/343/1/) with a good picture of that mobo - you decide, or call the company you're buying both from and ask them to tell you?

Just installed - it fits, with room to spare. Now it is a challenge to get a Abit AN9 to work - see my next post!!
