Will these coolers fit on this mobo?

HookeyStreet · Feb 20, 2010, 04:40 PM

The motherboard in question is this: Asus M4A79XTD EVO 790X

And Im hoping that one of these tow CPU coolers will fit ok.

1) Zalman CNPS7500-CU LED Socket 478, 775, AM2, 754, 939 & 940 CPU Cooler

or

2) Zalman CNPS 9700 LED Socket 754, 940, 775, 939 & AM2 CPU cooler

What do you think? I was worried about the various HS' on the motherboard getting in the way.

9700 will fit fine...7500 is questionable(might hit the ram). I have one of the fatal1ty 7500's somewhere, I could try to find it and let you know...

Only thing with the 9700 is with the mount, it faces up/down, rather than front/back.

(but please, dont go to any trouble on my behalf)

Hi, the Zalman CNPS7500 won't (or might, but it will block something), the zalman 9700 should be Ok

Good luck!

Good luck!

Holy shit, it's a beast

Thanks for the heads up, 9700 it is

But like cadaveca said, I will have to face it up/down not front/back. This shouldnt be a problem because the case its going in has a 120mm fan on top (which will help get rid of the warm air)

TRUE works just fine too...or Corsair H50...
