XP-90 WILL Fit the Neo2 939 MB

[jwarren68]

In case anyone else was unsure, as was I...
I didn't want to trust the Thermalright website, which simply says they haven't found a 939 mb it did not fit - if I'm going to drop $40-$45 on a HS, I want to be sure. I explicitly asked if it would fit the MS-7025, and received this reply (quickly, I might add):


"Yes. It will fit your Neo2 Platinum board all right!!

Thank you for taking interest in Thermalright!

Just looking at it, I can't see any way it wouldn't fit any K8 board.

I've been unsuccessful in finding a pic of it sitting in the board (specifically the MS-7025) - could you point me to a link, if you have one? Thanks.

I meant, looking at the heatsink itself. Anyway, a quick search turned up this pic. See how the heatpipes don't even extend past the RM clips? Every part of the heatsink outside the sillouette of the RM is high enough to easily clear anything.

Thanks for that link.

I saw pics of it, just not in the mb. Problem is, I am an uber-newb and cannot tell such things by merely looking at them as you can (maybe someday).

HEY! I just read some more & that's a great review site - Thanks!! I ordered the XP-90 without seeing that. Fortunately it looks like I made a decent (yet uninformed) choice.

oops...

Anandtech is clearly better, though...
