ZALMAN CNPS7700-CU question

Will this cooler fit an Asus P4P800 motherboard. I am in the process of replacing the heat sinks in my system so I kind of want to use this. I kind of want to know if anybody else used that heatsink on the P4P800, If not I will just probably go to the smaller version.

Thanks in advance.

you need at least 2 3/4 from center of cpu to power supply or you have to bend some fins a little.

It is not on Zalmans imcompatibility list so I'd say your good to go. The mobo I reviewed it on is on the list but I was still able to mount it, I just couldn't use an AGP video card.

EDIT: I just looked at your pic and you are going to have problems with the PSU and the shelf below it.

my game server has a p4p800--with a zalman 7700 alcu and it works fine---lots of room....

To answer the question fully, yes it will fit your motherboard, but not likely while it is inside your case.
With a different case it could work, one with more clearance between the top of the mobo and your PSU.

I agree. With more room above your mobo it should fit just fine. It should keep you nice and cool too.

So I should probably go with the smalled version of HSF. Is there a big difference in performance between the two?

EDIT:: From what I got at the Zalman site, it should fit the case but I don't know if I am willing to buy just to find iut it actuallyt doesn't.

I had to chop some fins to get it to fit in my BTX style case but its a great cooler... 78F idle with AS5.
