Zalman CNPS9500 installation

[igowerf]

I got a Zalman CNPS9500 and an ASRock 939SLI32 motherboard and I'm trying to install the Zalman. The instructions say that I can just screw the metal bracket into the plastic frame around the CPU socket, but none of the provided screws are big enough to actually screw in.

Am I missing something here? Anyone else have this combination or something similar?

Thanks for the link! My board doesn't seem to fit either of examples shown for the socket 939 installation though.

The Flash movie shows two types of motherboards for socket 939. One type has two screws that I can remove and then reuse to screw down the heatsink. Mine doesn't have those two screws and the holes are too wide for any regular screws. The second type has two push pins that you can release and replace some hardware supplied by Zalman. My motherboard doesn't have that either. Is the 939SLI32 completely incompatible with the Zalman?

You are use the existing screws on the plastic bracket that is on the MB. On my Neo2, I unscrewed the screws that came with the cpu bracket, and used those to screw the 9500 on.

Hi:
There is a list at the Zalman site for compatable motherboards:

Your motherboard isn't listed.
