What I'm wondering is,
Has anyone tried to fit a Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu into an SN41G2?
Right now I have a slightly modded stock AMD HSF installed, I pulled the shroud and moved the fan over a little so that it wouldnt hit the bottom of the drive cage. I also have a Zalman Smartfan 2 on the back blowing out with the rheostat hanging out the back a little so I can jack up the speed when I'm gaming.
Seems to be working okay, when I have the fan set to 2k it idles at ~40c and is a LOT quieter than the stock ICE setup, which is nice.
When I game I reach back and make it howl, I don't notice the sound cuz when I'm gaming I use headphones, Max temp so far gaming has been 52c, again not bad.
What worries me is the close proximity of the drive cage, I was hoping to find something shorter than the retail AMD HSF so that I wont worry too much about bein too clase to the drive cage.
So, do they fit or not?
TIA for any info you guys can offer, it's VERY appreciated..
I just want to quiet it down and have it relatively cool. I still need to replace the PSU fan and replace the sink on the NB, prolly use one of them beefy bastages without a fan since I got decent airflow thru the case.
