Compatible Heat Sink Fan

dc157_1 · 05-04-2007, 02:26 PM

Ok I just received my new cooling heatsink fan to replace the factory model. I have an AMD Athlon 64 AM2 X2 5600+ processor. I thought that the heat sink I got was compatible with my processor and motherboard but I can't figure how the hell to put it on. Can anyone please tell me if this heatsink fan is compatible with the motherboard and processor that I have. Here are the links.

Yeah the only problem is that my motherboard doesn't have 4 screw holes like a box. It has 2 screw holes in the middle of the four corners.

Compatible with Sockets 478, 754, 778, 939 and 940 , the Zalman LED CPU Cooler will work flawlessly with the Intel Pentium 4/Dual Core and AMD Opteron/Athlon 64 X2/Athlon 64/Athlon 64 FX processors.

altho I looked a bit further into it and it says that the X2 is a 939 socket so by rights the first cooler you had should fit.

Are you using the adaptor plate as show here

you basically just yank those 2 screws out.remove the plastic piece that holds a clip on cooler.then put in the standoff's,and the cooler screws right into those standoff's.
