hey,
so a long time ago i bought a zalman cnps7000b-cu cooler for my socket 939 processor. recently i upgraded to a socket 775 proc and i found out i could actually use my old zalman cooler with the help of the ZM-CS1 adapter.
so i bought the adapter, installed it, it works great. but recently i was browsing newegg and found a cooler that looks very similar to mine, and it comes with a backplate for the 775 socket.
so my question is, do you think i should go buy a backplate? the adapter i bought did not come with a backplate for the socket 775 but when i bought my cooler originally it came with a backplate for the socket 939 installation.
it seems secure, but what do you guys think?
