ZALMAN CNPS7000A-AlCu will it work on 939chip?

[BF04]

Im thinking of getting the Gigabyte board and that cooler, however it doesnot specific state that it fits socket 939 but I read somewhere it did. I just wanted to make sure from someone running that chip and using the ZALMAN CNPS7000A-AlCu it will work.


thanks

Fits fine on my msi k8n neo2 platinum, just took a bit of work to get the backplate off since msi glue'd it on =p

Good choice of HSF.

That is all.

How did you get your backplate off? I couldn't get mine backplate off my K8N so I jsut install my fan.

Let it run a bit and heat up, then gently took a flat head screwdriver and it came off pretty easily. Just be careful not to damage the mb

^Sweet, I got to try that when I have time.

it should

i didnt even let it heat up...i just pushed on the two holes on the front side and it popped right out the back, it wasnt stuck that well, just enough to stay and enough to pop out easily. it took me like 5 min to figure out that it WAS indeed able to be taken out. at first i thought it was jus stuck on there.

newegg doesnt list that it supports socket 939 on its specs for the 7000A-AlCu

Any experience with the DFI lanparty-does the HSF fit well on the mobo?

 

[eVaoVe]

Newegg.com doesn't list it as being supported but the Zalman site does who should i trust unno: need a quick reply ASAP ill be ordering this hsf with 3200+ 90nm

It fits on the msi k8n neo2 just fine. No clearance issues, etc.

It will work for ANY Athlon 64 board, assuming there's sufficient clearance. Socket 754, 939, and 940 all use the same retention mechanism.

My advice is to just get a Thermaltake Venus 12. I am using it successfully and you don't have to mess with the motherboard HSF retention bracket.
