Will a Super Lanboy and a Zalman CNPS7700 Cu fit ok?

Hi,

I recently purchased a Zalman 7700 Cu cooler. I have an Asus A8N-SLI motherboard which i know is fine for the cooler to be installed on. But i'm worried that it will not fit into a Super Lanboy case.

What i mean is, i'm worried that the cooler is so large, it will hang over the side of the motherboard. And then it might not fit into a Lanboy case because of the PSU?

I've found a picture of an Asus board (not an A8N-SLI) that shows the problem i'm worried about is shown here - 3rd picture down.

Anyone got the same combo of Lanboy, A8N-SLI and Zalman 7700?

Thanks for looking

Your link is not working.

How far will the overhang be?

I'm edited the link. On this mobo there looks to be a good few cm's overhang.

I'm not sure there will be an overhang with the A8N-SLI. I'm just trying to see if by chance anyone else has a similar setup.

Cos i've just purchased the cooler very recently i haven't had a chance to strip my machine and fit it.

I'm currently using a Chieftec Dragon case and there is a gap between the motherboard and my PSU in this case.

But i want a smaller case, and want the Lanboy, but now wondering if i'll have to replace the cooler

If you are running a dragon with the HSF being able to fit then I think the Lanboy will be fine aswell.

Just try it, worse that could happen is you have to sell the HSF and get a new one, but I think it will fit fine looking at it from web pictures.

Take it you have tried a google for your heatsink in the Lanboy?

Yeah, had a look and couldn't spot anything. Then again, i'm lagging abit now at this time

Hell, i might as well get a lanboy and try it. Haven't spent much (apart from the zalman) in a while.

Thanks

I used to have a Super Lanboy and can tell you that space is pretty tight in there.

The problem I can see is the PSU being in the way of the cooler, particularly if your PSU has a bottom fan.

The only way might be to try it to see how it fits. As Yewen says, the worst that can happen is you having to change your cooler.

Good luck
