Hello. Does somebody know - will that cooling system fit the AIW 9800 Pro card?

Yes it does. Just look at this link where they show it attached to an ATI card.

It's a 9800 Pro, not All In Wonder, so it doesn't help. Does someone know for real?

I've seen a zalman ZM80C-HP on an all in wonder 9800, it works fine.

From some of the customer reviews i've read from newegg and other places it seems that they have infact installed it on AiW cards. I was worried bout the same thing as well but I ordered the wrong heatpipe so i'm screwed either way.

Oh and before ordering make sure that you have enough clearance on your motherboard to support the ZM80. You need a space of at least 5mm, I believe, from the top of the agp port to northbridge chip. And the heatsink on the northbridge must not be over 25mm. I read this on a site that went into detail on installing it. I can't remember for sure if those measurements were correct but i'll try to find the site again and link it for you.

From the Zalman website I linked above:

ZM80A-HP and ZM80C-HP are compatible with (All In Wonder) ATI Radeon 9800 graphics cards when they are cooled by additional fans such as FB165, FB123 w/ additional fan attachment for VGA chip cooling and ZM-OP1 for ZM80C-HP.
