The stock clip of the 9500 yes... If I recall correctly I used the Intel bracket for it... The spacers were from the VF700....
Just make sure you mount the bracket correctly as there's only one way to get it to fit...

will it fit rotated 90 degrees?
So it will blow air towards the PCI slots...? I doubt it mounting wise and you would still need to cut off some of the fins to get it to fit.
The space between the core and the slots is only a few centimeters..
On the other hand... rotating it 90 degrees will screw up the airflow imo..
I dont believe it would mess with cooling performance at all by turning it 90 degrees, but likely improve it due to cutting fewer fins.
There is no cooling happening near the center so by having it turned how it is in your avatar pic you are relying almost completely on only one side of the cooler.
I can see your point... but if I turn up the fan the air gets pushed outside the case.... when you turn it 90 degrees the hot air is pushed against the mobo.. which can't be good..
My x1900xtx needs ones of those haha...
blowing warm air against PCI slots wont hurt anything (probably help any mosfets near the PCI-E slots), and your exhaust will be limited to how your case is set up anyways.
True on that point.. mine works well with the way I had it mounted...
Im now wondering if i can still keep my soundcard inside my PC if i plan to use a 9500/9700 CNPS for my 7900GT my motherboard is an Asrock Dual SATAII which only has 3 PCI slots.
I couldn't.... even with my Lian Li case I had to chop the top off the Zalman to make it fit... so the cooler took up all my spare PCI slots....
Great Job Night Crawler!
That is one sweet way to cool a graphics card.
wow, thread revival!
w00t.....! :ROTF:
