i got an asus a8n32-sli deluxe motherboard, and i see that there's an optional chipset fan for passve or liquid cooled machines.

it says Installing the optional fan with an active CPU Cooler will interfere with internal CPU Cooler airflow and endanger system stabilty.

my cpu cooler is a zalman cnps 9500, which does a great job at cooling my cpu, but i heard it doesn't do much cooling around the chipset.

should i use the optional fan, or leave t as it is? in other words, will my cpu cooler provide adequate cooling for my chipset?
 
in my opinion i would install the fan for the chipset just in case you can never go wrong eith a direct cooling system...............
 
but the warning says it may interfere with the cpu cooling. i'd rather burn out my motherboard than my fx-60. i've already ordered it. i will test it out both ways and monitor the temps to see which way is better. i will be overclocking, so it may help at higher bus speeds, or it may keep me from achieving a higher clock speed. trial and error seems to be the answer. thanks for the reply.
