Hi. I just ordered my dream machine, and I included the Zalman CNPS 9700 in the list of parts. Up till now, I have only installed processors with their stock HSF's, so I am clearly inexperienced with this part of PC building.

Now, with such expensive equipment, I want to be sure I do this correctly. I am most concerned about installing the fan and damaging the mobo (BadAxe2) or the proc (E6600). Any pointers, tips, comments or help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I have the CNPS9500, and I think the mounting is very similar. Just follow the directions that come with it and you should be fine :)
