Hi,
Im planning on Building a computer For Gaming and i've never built a computer before. Im only 15 and hopefully by Christmas/November i can get to build it. I would hate to Order all my Parts and have something not compatible.
Im Planning to build an Amd based computer using the Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990X Mobo
With a Amd Phenom x4 970 3.5Ghz Cpu
Will a Zalman Cnps9700 Fit? Im confused on how to put it on because it comes with 2 Mounting brackets and im guessing one if for the Back of the Mobo? but on the Back of the Mobo is this Black Plate? How would i install it if it is compatible, take that piece off or just mount the top part of the Cooler.
If you want to know any other parts of the Build i plan on making just ask and thanks to Anyone who tries to help me.
