I'm pretty much set on the Zalman 8700 because of the horizontal fan type, but I've read some issues with fitting it on some mobo's.

I have a Gigabyte EP35-DS3L on order and was trying to find out if anyone has tried this setup and had any issues. Thanks in advance.

8700, I guess it'd be called a horizontal mounted fan idk lol. Thing is, I needed something better than stock without taking the air off the mobo. I live in florida and it gets hot here, so I don't want my nb burning up with one of those tower coolers.

Just looking at the pics of the DS3L, It looks like it won't clear the NB HS.
