I need some info on the fan that is on this MB for the chipset.
I have ordered the MB but is consered about that fan beeing in the way when I'm gonna seat the fan on the CPU that is a Zalman CNPS7700-Cu that is pretty low :S
I just have to get this things up and running before the weekend with my new Gainward GeForce 7950GX2 card so if anyone got an idea just SPEAK UP :D
Your post is very unclear.
MSI website shows this: http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p...amond&class=mb
http://www.msicomputer.com/product/mb_image/MS-7160.jpg
Doesn't show any fans.
On the webpage where I bought the thing it's linked to this http://www.msi.com.tw/program/produc...il.php?UID=663 who got the fan on the chipset but I guess it's another version of the thing.
I guess they linked to the wrong page.
www.msi.com.tw is the authoritative site for Micro-Star, so I'd normally be tempted to believe that one rather than www.msicomputer.com, which is basically the US site.
However, some regional msi sites I've looked at show a fan, others show just a heatsink. On the ones showing a fan, it appears to be simply fastened on top of the heatsink on those without a fan.
I guess you'll find out when it arrives.
Thanks for the clarification. I always end up with more answers than questions about the MSI sites and the different versions of motheboards etc. Maybe it is my head but I find Asus etc. better that way.
I find Asus better full stop (period).
I like Gigabyte and boards that support AMD processors.
But if I were to go with Intel, I'd be sure to go with the Pentium D805 2.66 and a board that supports DDR2 @800MHz.
