ABIT NF7-S and Thermalright HS

[Tiamat]

I was wondering if any of you guys know whether or not the tall capacitors near the ZIF socket causes problems for installation of the SLK 800, ALX800, SLK 900A, or SK-97? Also, if it will indeed work, would you recommended mounting the HS and then mounting the fan, or mounting the fan on the HS before mounting it on the ZIF socket? Thanks!

BTW, i have the Coolermaster Aero VII and it has gotten too noisy for my liking. Does anybody know how much better the thermalrights cool than the Coolermaster Aero VII?

i have the Abit NF7-S rev2 - SLK800 fits fine .. im sure the ALX800 and SLK 900 are just as compatible.,

My SLK-900A fits perfectly on my ABIT NF7-S Rev 2.0 with more than enough room to spare.

I've just installed my SP-97 on a NF7-S mobo with XP2500+ (Barton). It fits very nicely. You just need to orient the HS to keep the heat pipe away from the capacitors. Otherwise, there is plenty of clearance. I've mounted a Vantec Stealth 92mm fan as my HSF. You will need to mount the HS before mounting the fan. SK-97 uses the 4 through-the-board HS mounting holes.

Here is a comparison between SLK900U and SK-97. Review: Thermalright SP94, SP97 & other heavyweights

Good luck!

SLK-800 and 900U both fit just fine on my NF7-S
