I thought about doing this, my gut feeling is there is enough forced air
from the Zalman to cool the DPS but I haven't tried it.

I've been running like this for over a year.
With the Zalman you can run without the DPS fan.
With a Northwood CPU you can run without the DPS completely.
I do not know if the DPS is needed with Prescott CPU's - it may be. But then
I am not too sure if the REV 1 mobo will run Prescotts at all.

Mine is a Rev 1 board, and yes I'm using a Zalman HSF and the Zalman will
interfere a bit with the DPS module fan.
In my case, I removed the small fan from the DPS and kept the DPS.
System runs 24/7 for about 1 1/2 years now with no problem. The Zalman
provides more than enough airflow to the DPS module.
BTW this is with a 3.2gig cpu and 2gig of ram.
