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.

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

Have you considered asking in an Asus support forum, or contacting Asus and
asking them for a list of HSF's known to fit?
