Hi all, I plan on buying this: http://www.svc.com/zanoco.html for a quiet, SFF machine I will be building soon. It says it is incompatible with Northbridges that have built in graphics. But, asyou can see here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Showi...Force+6100+Micro+ATX+AMD+Motherboard+-+Retail the Northbridge and Southbridge coolers are total crap in comparison to the Zalman. Will the Zalman work? Also, the Northbridge and Southbridge look to be almost exactly the same size and hole pattern-- could I use 2 of the Zalmans, one on the Northbridge and the other on the Southbridge? Or is there a problem that a noob like me does not know about?

Any help is appreciated.

i dont see why you couldnt use it, i had those same hs on my asrock 939dual and swapped out the silver one for the blue zalman and all was perfectly fine. it looks like a tight surrounding area with those capacitors though so if anything there might be problems width wise.

and yes, you could use two of them on there if you wanted to. i was going to do the same thing but the NV5 on my 6800GT blocks the sb.

I have a pair of those on my ASRock Dual939-SATA2 motherboard and they work great. Here is a pic of my system at a local lan party...
