king for a Heat Sink for the Maximus Formula Mother Board

Hi All,

Looking for a Heat Sink for the Maximus Formula Mother Board. Here is the
link for the MB:
http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1...&model=1850&mo
delmenu=2

The problem is that there are heat sinks within the CPU socket, so the heat
sink with the fan needs to be elevated. I tried and none worked. I was told
that Zalman CNPS9500A LED should work but I get mixed opinions.
(http://www.ZalmanUSA.com)

Need really to replace the Stock Fan that is making a lot of noise out of
the Core 2 Quad 3GHz CPU.

Appreciate some feedback.

Thanks,

Joe

And the relevance to Windows Vista is?

Have you considered asking in an Asus support forum, or contacting Asus and
asking them for a list of HSF's known to fit?
