have you tried going with zalman's CNPS9500? I was about to ask almost this same question, but you beat me to it.

My question though is if people would know if the CNPS9500 would bump into the 3500LLPRO when mounted.

Sythe Ninja. Easy to install/uninstall and very efficient with 120mm low to medium speed fans.
The CNPS9500 is kind of overpriced and overly top-heavy, but it is an effective heatsink.

is it compatible with the ASUS A8N32-SLI mobo? Cuz I just found out today that Zalman's site doesn't show the A8N32-SLI mobo as compatible. :-\

yeah but why not get a new pump for around the same price that a good cpu heatsink would cost you?
