IS7 and Zalman ZM-NB32 passive cooler

[Vlad Kirienko]

Hi,

Have somebody tried Zalman ZM-NB32 passive cooler with IS7? Will it cool chipset sufficiently enough? Will it fit motherboard and easy to install? Where is a catch? Why Abit choose to install noisy and probably more expensive cooler if passive cooler can do the same job?

Regards,
Vlad Kirienko

There is a thread dealing with your question on the Abit fora. The posters there seem to think it's OK to do as you suggest and one has posted pictures of his modded Zalman.

Can't remember exact location of the thread as it's about a month old, but it's there. I presume you know how to find the Abit fora on the US website. If not try google.
