what are the dimensions of the heatsink of a q6600 kentsfield g0 stepping?

I will be a little cranky (it's 11 PM where I am) and say, "Do your own research.

Try googling something like "Intel hsf dimensions".

There shouldn't be a case out there that would have a conflict with the stock intel hsf. Sorry i can't give you an exact answer as i can't find my orginal hsf but I can tell you it's the same size as all the previous stock hsf since the pentium D 800 series. If I may ask why do you need to know?

jsc, I already looked online

I know my intel hsf will fit in my case and mobo, but I gave it back without measuring it. Now im buying a zalman 9500, and if it is smaller or slightly bigger than the intel heatsink, it will fit in my case and mobo

by the way, I have a abit p35 pro board.

I use the abit AB9 Pro which is pretty mucht he sambe board with an older chipset. You should have any problems placing that HSF on your board as long as your using a pretty standard case.

so what special or weird case he need to have to install that HSF without any problems with that board?

well, im using the antec 900. plenty of room in the case.

and I think you meant "shouldnt have any problems".

Anyone wanna second psy's opinion?
