It seems to mount very similar to the 7700 ie using the brackets but they are lower profile. I wonder if this would work with a dothan? They claim this cooler is better than water cooling.
7000 --> 7700, probably 3~5*C difference my guess..

the 9500 looks good, and i think mounting on a dothan could be a possibility. must resist the temptation to change to this hsf, still like the downward airflow from my 7700 though
