    Hi I just wanted to say, I have been wondering or not if it would really be worth it to upgrade my ASUS SK8V mobo. And it is definitely YES !
    I purchased the Zalman 9500A with the Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound it took me about 1 hour following the directions on the Zalman Website.
    The only thing I needed to do extra was remove the video card, so that I could latch the clamp to the lug. The temperture was always 25+ over the case temp,with the old Ajigo heat sink. Now the temperture is at the most 10 degrees more then the case. I set the temp to display in fahrenheit.
    and as a bonus the Zalman is much quieter.:-D
