The Zalman 9500A I bought for my HP model m8430f Q6600 that requires removing the MOB. For a reasons of both time and expertise, I'd rather not and am looking for cooling alternatives. I've read where users have installed liquid coolers without pulling the MOB to utilize a stronger mounting bracket betw/ the MOB and case. Does anyone know if I can install a Swiftech H2O-120 CPU Liquid Cooler w/o pulling the MOB? I can see why heavy CPU air fans like the Zalman 9000x series require stronger back and front side mounting brackers but the Swiftech water block shouldn't pose a weight danger to the MOB as it weighs a lot less than HP's stated 454gr MOB limitation. (A tightening limitation?) Also, if I don't pull the MOB, I'm not sure how the existing back side mounting bracket could be accessed once the existing heat sink with it's downward tightening screws is removed. My HP stock rig is currently fitted with only an aluminum heat sink and a 80mm fan that doesn't push a lot of air. While running Futuremark's PC Vantage for Vista 64 bechmarking application, cores 1-4 reach 65/60/60/60C. I want to improve on this. As you can see, I'm not too technically proficient ...but I'm committed to learning more and would much appreciate comments on the Swiftech and also on any other alternatives you may know of. Thank you, motoman
