Heatsink question

[MrLoLeR]

Not sure if there is a seperate Heatsink section of the forums, but anyway.

I'm looking at getting this : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233001

But i want the optional backplate to go with it. Will this backplate fit this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233019 I know it is applicable with the 120mm version, but i prefer the 92mm. Just wanted to make sure this fit, not sure why it wouldnt.

There is a section for heatsinks; it's called Overclocking & Cooling.

Back to your question, yes, the bolt-through bracket will work with the 92mm version as well.

Why do you prefer the 92mm? The 120mm is quieter and will cool better, with minimal increase in cost.

I believe it will work, since all their LGA775 hold-downs should be the same, but my other point still stands. Unless you don't have space, there's no good reason not to get the 120mm version.

Sorry for posting this in the wrong section. A mod can move it if need be. But yea, i was mainly concerned about case clearance is why.

What cpu will you be cooling down?

Yeah thats fine, kinda too bad your system couldn't fit a 120mm hsf. The egg has a $10MIR and free shipping on the renowned S-1283
