Question about Zalman CNPS9700

[The Von Matrices]

Hi everyone. I just purchased two old Core 2 Quad PCs from a friend and am planning on parting them out for sale. The processors both have Zalman CNPS9700 LED heatsinks on them. I have looked at the specifications of the heatsinks, and I notice that Newegg's site has LGA1155/1156 support listed (and presumably 1150 as well). I don't know when my friend built these systems originally, but I am skeptical of whether the heatsinks really support LGA1156/1155 since I'm assuming the heatsinks were purchased before the newer sockets existed.

Does anyone know if there have been multiple revisions of this heatsink model? If so, how could I tell if the ones I have support the newer socket? It would be nice to be able to advertise LGA1156/1155/1150 support, but I don't want to falsely advertise if I have old versions that only support LGA775.

I would appreciate the help. Thanks in advance!

got one on a 6600 C2Q and if memory serves me correct they don't support LGA1155/1156 out of the box

No LGA1155/1156 brackets/backplate is included in the kit (not when i bought mine )
which for me is a pisser as i'm in the process of building a 1156 sys to upgrade my 6600 Quad
would have loved to use this cooler rather than a stock intel
a LGA1155/1156 adapter kit may be available direct from the manufacture tho

for newer package it should have that support, but maybe you could ask for the retention kit

Thanks for the help. I just sent a message to Zalman about this and maybe they will help me out. If they're nice enough to give them to me for a low price then maybe I will buy the brackets, but otherwise I will just sell the heatsinks with only LGA775 support listed and a link for the end user to buy the upgraded brackets.
