Installing Zalman 9500 on AM2 with adapter to 939
I am attempting to install a Socket 939 Zalman 9500 Heatsink/Fan Combo onto a Socket AM2 Mobo. I have the adapter for using a SOcket 939 on a Socket AM2 which can be found here:
http://www.cooltechpc.com/c/ctpc/std/sku=939_am2_adapter.html
Does the...
1) ...adapter goes directly onto the mobo as in the pic?
2) ... can anyone explain step by step. I must be missing something....
Of course I didn't see the 9700 which is AM2 compatible.... but I bought the Adapter as listed above. Any assitance is appreciated...

Right, did that.
To mount the heatsink, I just install the included clip on the heatsink and then rest the heatsink on the cpu right?
But the clip is awfully far away from the holes in the center, which are the two holes I assume are used to mount the heatsink? Or am I mistaken?

But I mean very far away... like an inch or two... and the clips dont seem to pliable...

And the screws to attach it to the center aren't very long...

Nope, the heatsink shown is very small. The one I have is massive. I just realized they include inch long screws though so I think that should do the trick.
I am going to finish it in a little bit. I will let you guys know how it goes.

Should I just go with the 9700 or....?
