Rhermalright SP-94 on chaintech 9CJS

Ham_fisT

I am seriously looking at the Thermaltake SP-94 heatsink, but I am not sure it will clear the cool chipset HSF on my new board, has anybody used this configuration? if it mounts with the fins horizontal, there shouldn't be a prob.
but it looks like they will be vertical.
any help would be Great! :)

Thanx

board is a Chaintech 9CJS in an X-SuperAlien full tower, the board has a tall n-bridge cooler that sits really close to the hsf mount, the board is on the Fed-Ex truck right now, so I can't give more details on the chipset hsf height

i'd check up with thermalright or zenith to see if it'll work. either that, or do a google search for sp-94 and 9cjs

thanks, i just got back from thermalright's site, they have a MoBo compatibility chart that says the SP-94 should work. the hs looks pretty fat! so i am hoping for some real world info.
gonna try the Google thing now

thanx JD

the SLK-947U is almost jsut as good and it goes horizontal so it will fit why but a SP-94?

the chaintech's hsf mounting is rotated 90* compared to most boards..so i think they both run vertical.
either one will probably do fine for me..I just like the heat-pipe thing :^)

also, I had to cut a little off the fan guard for the chipset cooler for it to fit, but you cant see it.

no WAY i was cuttin' into the SP-94, its WAY too pretty for that!
