Has anyone tried to put a xp 90 h/s on a MSI|875P NEO-FISR board or similar? Or does anyone know about the campatibility...I read on thermalright's website that they "believe the xp 90 will fit most every mobo", but then i saw a review and they acted as if it were big and could possibly not fit many boards


thanks

hey, i got a MSI neo2 ls, and it works perfectly. not sure how similar your board and my board is but the xp-90 seems to fit everything just fine. hope this helps.

"Hi Brandon,

Sorry. XP-120 will not fit MSI K8N Neo Platinum. :-((

There is a capacitor in between K8 rentention and AGP that interferes with the heatpipe loop of XP-120.

Would you care for a XP-90 which has no mechanical issues at all with K8 boards.

thank you for taking interest in Thermalright products!


Thermalright,

Chris Lee"

It will work

I just installed an xp90 couple days ago on a 754 msi neo platnium mobo. I upgraded to 64 bit,so I said hey lets get this hs. Because I like how thermalright hs look and the clip on fan design.

When I first got it I was like WOW this is big and reminded me of the starship enterprise. But it was friggin light as heck like a can of dr pepper. Good thing I didn't get xp 120.

I just followed the instructions on installing it,since I never install these type of heatsinks.
I removed my memory from slot 1 before installing though. It made it easier for me. But note after it's install you can use slot 1 2 3 without any problems on this board.Hooked up the retention module.
Also I think I hooked this thing up right? Because, it wasn't going to fit the other way since the extension of the hs would hit the videocard cooler.
Fans are a easy to switch off.
