Zalman CPNS10X Performa for Asus P7P55D Pro?

[kirtikem50]

I want to install the Zalman CPNS10X Performa for Asus P7P55D Pro.

Install cooler without closing the memory slots or not?

Сan Zalman CNPS9900-NT will be more productive than CPNS10X?

I think any CPNS10X cooler is a better choice then a CNPS9900.
Why?
The Performa can accommodate two user replaceable fans.
The CNPS9900 has only one non-replaceable fan.

Hmm well, I have a Zalman CNPS10X Extreme and in the "proper" orientation it covers 1 ram slot, so I have it flipped backwards (as well as all my case fans) and it's fine with my 4x4gb RAM. Same mobo.

I'm not really sure how the Performa compares to the Extreme for size.
