I'm looking to replace the stock AMD fan with a radial CPU cooler. My main goal is to direct airflow to the adjacent chipset heatsink, as I would like to lower the chipset running temps (currently 54C to 57C at idle). Lower CPU temps and noise level would be a bonus.
See sig below for system specs. See a pic of the mobo here:

I'm looking at the Zalman CNPS7000C-Cu
This model has a small footprint and should hopefully fit. Will this cooler simply plug into the CPU fan on the mobo? Will CnQ still work?
I'm open to comments and other suggestions.
