Hi,
I am going to purchase a new CPU Cooler for my motherboard and I wanted to know if anyone was using a Zalman CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler on thier Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R (rev.1.0) motherboard? If so, are you using all four of the memory slots? I just ordered 2 more sticks of memory for my board, so I will be using all of the memory slots. The problem that I have now, is that my Zerotherm CF900 92mm CPU Cooler takes up the number 1 memory slot, so I can not use that one. What a bummer, it is a outstanding quiet CPU cooler. Any information would be appreciated, including anyone that is us a different CPU cooler that fits the motherboard with all four memory slots being used.
Thanks
 
I use the non-led version of this heatsink. It works just fine, doesn't block any memory slots. Make sure you plug in the 4-pin power connector to the motherboard first before installing the heatsink. Heatsink doesn't interfere with it, but makes it difficult to plug/unplug once installed.
