Zalman 9700 LED

[USS12pak]

Hello folks, i posted up a coupld of days ago about my first build, and I've discovered soemthing today that concerns me a little. I was looking at the specs for the zalman 9700 led I ordered and it says that it supports several different cpu's including core 2 duo's. I ordered a core 2 quad q6600. Will the zalman cooler still work on this cpu? I've tried to find the answer myself, but to no avail.

I don't see any problem. The thing with the coolers is that they are built for a specific socket type. C2D's and the C2Quads are the same socket. You dont have anything to worry about

doesn,t matter what cpu you have it depends on the socket. The only thing you should worry about is if this cooler will fit in your case

cool, i know its the same socket so guess im good to go. My case is a cosmos 1000, and ive never seen a case as big as this!!! If it wont fit in this one, it aint fitting in any, lol. Thanks for the help fellas.

I have a Q6600 with a Zalman 9700 LED and it works great. Don't worry!

Do you overclock? If you do what to using that 9700 - just out of interest.

(I expect to get the Q6600 with an X48 motherboard in March or around then).

if your not overclocking, then using stock cooler is fine.

Running cooler is always a good thing.

I currerntly have my processor at a very stable 3.2 mhz. I have a 680 SLI board as I have 2 8800GTX in SLI.

the 9700 is a fantastic cooler, got my 6600 to 3.4 and never goes over 49c under a full load

You mean 3.2GHz not 3.2MHz.
