To answer my own question. The Zhalman BTF90, does not fit into the asus striker extreme motherboard. But it does when you ben the fins up or down about 20-30' degrees. It is cooling my cpu very well but i have not tried overclocking. If you do install this though make sure you place the special back plate on the bottom of the motherboard... I did not and now i have to take the whole thing apart tonight! The directions seem to start on the right page but they don't. Haha, I was going to quick... sanding the fins did not seem to work all that well and melting them seems like it would cause the fins to melt because the middle of the fin is thick.
