OH Sh!t !

I just ordered an alpha PEP66T for my T-bird, but Im not sure its going to fit on my Abit KT7A! Does any one know if it will fit or should i cancel the order???

thanks

It'll fit easily, you just have rotate the shroud 90 degrees. Use two fans, it made a 5C difference for me. The fan on the shroud MUST suck. The other fan should be rotated 45 degrees and blow, sucking air from the DIMMs direction. I used nylon ties to attach it.
Also, the PEP66 doesn't like overpressure, it'll make the temps go skyhigh. I tried that and my temps went so high that the machine rebooted. Checked the temps after that in the bios and they were 66C.

heheheh next time post it as OH s**t! or even better Oh $%^&! some of the members here have a faint heart.

I would not call it a faint heart, we just like to keep this area a little cleaner than other forums. This is not a flame hole and we do encourage younger members.

Shows a easy way to get it to work.

I have the same Alpha and mobo. There are a couple options. One, rotate the shroud so that the fan sits on top and pushes air down accross the fins. You may need to drill a couple holes in the fins, but if you do it just right, the screws will fit between the fins and hold the shroud in place.

Second option is getting a couple slimline fans and mounting them on the sides. There is a teeeeeeny bit of room left over. Have one suck and the other blow. Try looking at www.coolerguys.com/ and peep the setup they sell there. They have one specifically for your Abit KT7A mobo.

Good Luck!
