Freezer 7 Pro vs. Abit IP35-E

Trying to position the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro heatsink on my Abit IP35-E motherboard. The oversized northbridge cooler gets in the way in the preferred configuration (blowing towards the back).

funny how the freezer 7 pro fits perfectly on the abit IP35-P that i'm currently using :D

oh just by the way.. if you dislike the pushpins, google for "scythe 775 cooler stabilizer". replaces the pushpins with screws and a massive backplate :)

The oversized northbridge cooler gets in the way in the preferred configuration (blowing towards the back). I have it installed but it's blowing downwards towards the video card instead of towards the back of the case.

I faced this exact problem today. My solution for the problem: I bent the two lowest aluminum plates a bit with pliers and after that i cut a minor piece of the black frame of the fan with a hacksaw. The piece I sawed was smaller than 4 mm x 2 mm.

Now it blows to the preferred direction.
