I have an abit ic7 with a p4 2.8Ghz HT. I have removed the retail northbridge cooler and mounted a zalman nb32j passive heatsink. I'm worried about if there is enough space for a zalman 7000cu cpu coolear instead for the crappy intel retail cooler which is use now. If someone could take a picture or messure how much their zalman 7000cu is outside of the p4 frame and how close both height and width it is to the northbridge chip. I've included pictures

okay, I took a photo or two for you. the first one is a side view, slightly elevated off center, showing the cutaway curvature of the Flower fins on the underneath. The second, is the Flower installed on my IC7-G and you can clearly see that it overhangs the NB by quite a bit. No way for me to give you a good side elevation of the Flower installed to show clearance over top of the NB, sorry... I'm not going to disassemble the system THAT far! <vbg>

That's okey tom. I just wish I knew if the flower is high enough for the zalman passive cooler to go free form it. I have not seen how high the small part of the flower goes before it becomes really wide do you know?

not without pulling the part back off the system and I'm not really interested in doing that.
