zalman 7000 in a msi k8n neo2 plat?

[saimike]

seeing how close my cpu is to my agp card, has anyone managed to fit a zalman 7000 onto the msi k8n neo2 plat? i checked zalman's website, but it doesnt list the msi k8n neo2 plat as compatible or not.

it is a bit tight, there is about 1-2cms space in between the vid card and the edge of the zalman. I idle around 30-32 though, so it is still effective.

realitytime, seems like the zalman doesnt go over the memory in ur box, but dustswirl's pics show that it goes over the memory ... thats weird.

looks like i'll have to lose the vid card mem heat sinks (big ones) to fit that sucker in. thanks for the pics guys!

Look carefully, Dustswirl's pic DOES NOT show the heatsink going over the memory slots. You will see a ram in that slot. It's just the angle of the picture taken.
