Replacing MCP fan on Neo2 board with heatsink?

I would like to replace the MSI MCP fan with a Zalman ZM-NB47J Northbridge
cooler heatsink.

Does the Northbridge heatsink fit on the MCP? Are the dimensions the same?
Or is MCP some new size?

Thanks ~ DD

You might struggle, the NV3 chipset is right under the back edge of the VGA
card when it's in the AGP slot, if you've got any capacitors on that edge of
your VGA card you'll be stumped as they'll probably clash with the Zalman
heatsink..

I had to get pretty serious with my watercooling block and take a belt
sander and dremel to it to coerce it into fitting.
