Can a Zalman heatpipe be attached to an ATI All-in-wonder card?

[tortie]

Has anybody ever tried using a Zalman heatpipe cooler to an ATI All-in-wonder card?

Zalman Heatpipe

ATI All-in-wonder 9600XT

I want to upgrade my AIW's original cooling and I would like to go the fanless route for silent operation. Anybody ever tried this?

looks to me like no... the aiw part will get in the way. i have a 9700aiw and from looking at the zalman, it sure looks like it will hit the aiw. (or whatever that metal box that contains that stuff is called)

Thanks for the reply. That's what I was afraid of, the Zalman might hit the square aluminum casing of the AIW in the front end.

I was just looking through there message board and saw this.

Thank you for your interest in Zalman's product.

ZM80A-HP, ZM80C-HP, and ZM80D-HP are compatible with ATI All In Wonder 9600 series.
