Looking for a Heat Sink for the Maximus Formula Mother Board

Hi All,

Looking for a Heat Sink for the Maximus Formula Mother Board. Here is the link for the MB:
http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=572&l4=0&model=1850&mo delmenu=2

The problem is that there are heat sinks within the CPU socket, so the heat sink with the fan needs to be elevated. I tried and none worked. I was told that Zalman CNPS9500A LED should work but I get mixed opinions. (http://www.ZalmanUSA.com)

Need really to replace the Stock Fan that is making a lot of noise out of the Core 2 Quad 3GHz CPU.

Appreciate some feedback.

Thanks,

Joe

No I am not building at this point in time ..I was just curious enough to
look it up.
What you think are 2 push buttons are connectors for water cooling the
heatpipe......!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe you should go to the ASUS website and take a better look at the specs
and then use google to search for reviews of the board...which is how I
found this info
