HSF Compatibility question

[middlehead]

Anybody tried attaching Swiftech's MCX462-V to GigaByte's GA-7N400S? I need better cooling and I'm almost sure that HS would fit, except for the one capacitor right near the top-left corner of the ZIF socket.

(And no, I don't want to watercool. Maybe on the next system, but I don't feel like making the room for a radiator, reservoir, and pump in this one.)

Bump for the evening/night crowd. Anybody try this combo?

If the capacitor is in the "free for all" zone, the answer is no. See: http://www.swiftnets.com/products/mcx462-V.asp#2

The mcx462-V is a huge square block, and it uses most of the free for all space, so any interference will not be good.

If you want a better cooler, you could also try this: SI-97
