A8N-SLI-DELUXE+ZM-NB47J

[Hejsanhmm]

Hi all!
I have an ASUS A8N-SLI-DELUXE Mobo and i have heard that the pushpins who comes with the zalman NB cooler is to short to use on my mobo..
Is that true?
Cuz i wanted to skip taking the mobo out so i can clip off the pushpins and use the new ones..
Thx for replies!

It'll work, but most people recommend a 40mm fan to attach to the side because without one it runs HOT!!

Not true in my case!! I used the pins that came with the Zalman NBJ47 with no problems, the pins are a little shorter then the original pins on the Asus heatsink but they still work. Cooling the Zalman heatsink was a big concern to me so I ended buying the Zalman FB123 bracket , this bracket allowed me to mount two more 80mm fans pointed directly at the NBJ47... The FB123 bracket plus the two fans lowered my system temps dramatically.
