XP-90 + Presler?

[Dennis Gordon]

I just ordered a retail 940D for a new build for someone else (mainly out of fascination with the ASRock 775i65G MATX board which was a whopping $44 at Newegg, and purportedly will run Conroe and let me use an AGP card).

I have an unused XP-90 cooler that I never used after I bought an AMD heatpipe for my opteron. Will this work with that socket? I've heard various reports on the quality of the Intel HSF...

It will work, but you need the socket 775 retention bracket

Dang, I just made 2 orders from Newegg last night. I should've asked earlier. Guess I'll have to think of something else to buy with the company cc. Thanks...

Well, as luck would have it, I need to order another 17" LCD from the Egg, so I'll order the adapter as well...
