Hi,

I've got a Gigabyte 8IPE1000 motherboard with a 2.4Ghz P4. The Intel
fan is very noisy and I was thinking of replacing it with a Zalman
7000B ALCu fan which is supposed to be almost silent at low rpms. Are
the Zalman's compatible with the IPE1000? I've looked on the Zalman
site - the Gigabyte is not on their 2004 incompatible list but then
it's not on their 2005 compatible list either.

Anyone got a Zalman 7000 and IPE1000 running together?

Ben

I think so -- I'll have to pull the receipts to confirm which Zalman I'm
running, but if I'm not mistaken I have this configuration running right
now.

Excuse me while I reply to my own post, but I decided to take the risk
and buy a Zalman 7000B AlCu for my Gigabyte 8IPE1000 (rev 1.0) anyway.
It fits and works fine.
