Do YOU have the Gigabyte K8NSNXP-939 ?

[Brickster]

I am looking for compatible HSFs with the Gigabyte K8NSNXP-939.

Any recommendations from owners who Overclock?

How 'bout a reply, eh?

Well, I'm using a waterblock (Swiftech MWC-5000 w/adapter plate). I ended up ditching the retention frame, and purchasing a new metal backplate (the stock backplate uses push fittings. I needed the one with screw posts).

I know that's not the answer you are looking for though.

If you read that review where it showed the capacitors getting in the way of a stock HSF, there was an answer I read about it on a forum (somewhere..). It turns out that you can actually put the HSF on either way. If you mount it so the cam lever is oriented towards the bottom of the board, it doesn't interfere with the capacitors.

Today, I installed a Zalman 7000A - AlCu. It fits just fine. If you order this though, make sure you get the 7000A version as I have heard the original 7000 interferes with the DSP.

could you please post your temps including CPU?

It is gorgeous, isn't it.

With the F4K BIOS I get:
32ºC Idle
42ºC Load

This is with Arctic Silver II. Not overclocked.

Edit:
See "Main Rig" in my sig for specs.
