Fitting both 7000Cu & MCX159P into P4C800E- Dlx?

Post by kgs »

Is it physically possible to fit a Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu CPU cooler & a Swiftech MCX159-P Northbridge cooler together (side by side) into the ASUS P4C800E-Deluxe mobo?

As far as I know the only conflict in my pc is the possible dimensional conflict between these two units themselves, as they are so close, and may come into interference.

Might I be into some bending of Cu fins?



I like the Zalman b/c it seems Thermalright and Swiftech might require some serious fan noise to get my mobo and 2.6C and PC4200 or PC4400 up to a worthy overclock. That is, I assume they are all OK for this purpose. The Zalman is quiet.

I have the board but I don't have those coolers. Jason on the other hand has all 3 I believe on his ASUS board so I'm sure he can tell you what the deal and be right! :)

thanks in advance to any who post.
I am fortunate enough[?] to have the time to research each potential component in every category several times before making my final mistake.
I'm almost there.

Yes, I have had both the Zalman 7000 and the MCX 159 on my Asus P4C800E. Fits fine... not much room left though!
