9700 Pro AIW + ZM80A-HP?

[Alphanos]

I've seen pictures of the AIW on the net and noticed that it has several seemingly large components that the standard 9700 Pro does not. Can anyone confirm whether the zalman heatpipe cooler fits onto the AIW?

i'd say "no". but since i havent tried it myself i can't be sure. i almost purchased the heat pipe but am a little hesitant b/c of that huge tv tuner component.

Ask a shop that sells them both. They should be able to tell you.
Try asking the people over at OC UK send them an email about it, but put in a way that you are interested in buying it from them, and they should give you a pretty good answer. They do when i enquire about stuff that im thinking of buying from them. Expect upto a couple of days for a reply though.
Phrase it like "I was thinking of buying a Zalman ZM-80AHP from you, but i am wondering if it would fit without problems on a 9700pro AIW. Can you conferm if it will work?"
You can still use ramsink with a Zalman Heatpipe bty.

Yes it will fit fine. Has no-one ever thought to check Zalmans site? They have a message board there and they have stated there that it will work with the AIW 9700pro. I have that exact same card and will soon be getting the ZM80A-HP for it.
