Clearance Issue

[RockingDude]

I'm wondering if the 8000 would fit in my Foxconn P4M800P7MA-RS2. The stock Intel Pent-D cooler has the fins almost touching some transistor thingys in there, which are about 1" tall

they are on the right side of that picture, the ones on the top are about .7"

those are the only real issues I see, but I wasn't sure exactly the differences between stock and the 8000, and I'm pretty lazy to rip it apart and do a lot of research if someone knows off the top of their head.

Those are capacitors and as long as the HS does not touch them, your good to go.

I count ten missing capacitors on that board. The bean counters do that before final production.

Anyone know the dimensions of my stock pent-d cooler to compare against the zal 8000 ?

and would the 8000 be the best bang for my buck for that mobo in my xqpack? stock doesnt cut it anymore

also should i get any other cooling? gpu or northbridge or anything else?

I'm not saying it won't happen but the odds are slim to none.

Foxconn are not a common board here and this is a brand new release from Zalman.
I have not seen one post of the CNPS800 and a search of this board brings up nothing.

Email the pic to Zalman with your question.

Nice Zalman sink btw. Looks like it might be a tad better than a $22 XP-90. 😉
