Im planning to buy a
Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6 motherboard and a
Zalman 9700NT CPU cooler.
I will let these two pictures here, demonstrate the problem:

As you can see, the GA-X38-DQ6 board is equipped with a heatsink underneath the board.

The Zalman 9700NT requires you to install their brackets, in order to make the cooler stand stabile.
Now the overall question is: Will my 9700NT's brackets be able to fit, even though Gigabyte have placed a giant-a$$ heatsink?
If it don't, could you people reccomend a CPU cooler that does not need brackets and still keep my CPU cool?
Thanks in advance.
