Need help with E6400 installation

trojans · Aug 29, 2006, 08:39 AM

Just install my new PC with a E6400 CPU, got a problem. Since I am planning to
do OC, I bought a ZALMAN CNPS9500, but during the installation, I found that
this cooler doesn't really fit the E6400 (on ASUS P5W), for clip is way too
curved for both of its ends to be nailed on the support. so I found some
longer screwer, with which I can fix the fan now, but I am not sure how
much force should I apply on , too tight---I am worried about damaging CPU,
too loose----overheating.
So wired, I have heard some people OCed there E6?00 with this cooling fan,
why it doesn't work for me ? Did do something wrong ?

I would really appreciate any help from you guys.

there are several different Zalman CNPS9500 models... AT / LED / AM2...
the AT and LED models should be installed fine on your board?

Zalman CNPS9500 AT and Core 2?

hi,
Thanks a lot for all the input, I am going to keep tightening it, seems I have to
put a huge pressure on the CPU while install this freezer, just by any chance, could anybody provide some mechanical specs. from INTEL concerning how much "Dang"
this chip could handle before breaking ?

best
