Anyone using an AN35N Ultra and SLK-947U?

[grrl]

I've read that one capacitor gets in the way of the top mounting bracket so you have to cut a piece of it off. That's not a big deal, but is there also a problem with some surface mounted components being too close to the mounting holes in the mobo?

Does anyone know about this?

*shrug* I fit a Zalman 7000A-CU on that board no problem. Odd.

So you had no problems around the mount holes?

I just don't see how it wouldn't fit. Looking at the proportions. My opinion of course. Compatibility list doesn't mention the AN35N-Ultra being a problem either.

Didn't have to mod the 7000A-CU at all. Pretty sure having something that close to the mosfets wouldn't pose a problem as I had to later clip the 7000A-CU to fit an Epox board and it was really close and I never had a problem.

it has the mount holes, and my volcano 12 fits on it. i dont see why it would not work and the capacitor its um its about 1 cm from the mount hole so i dont know it would not work. why dont you use a volcano12, slk-900a, or Zalman. thay are almost as good. thay all fit too.

Actually, Thermalright has two lists, one says it's okay, one says it doesn't work.

I'm sure the heatsink will fit, again, it's clearance around the bolt holes one guy said was a problem. He said he was afraid of crushing some components.

I saw a large head on picture of the Shuttle board and it looks like there are things very close to two of the holes.


jswjimmy, I want to use the 947 because I already have one. I suppose I could sell it though.

 

[jswjimmy]

well try it first befor you ever think of selling it, thats a good heatsink.

maybe one is an35n-400ultra v1 and the other is an35n-400ultra v1.1. or something like that.

I've never seen any revision numbers on them.

One list from Thermalright says it doesn't work and another says it does.

The difference is the motherboard. The message at the top of the page on the second link says to use the list from the specific product. The first link is the specific product list.

The question is there a difference between an AN35N-400 and an AN35N-Ultra. They do look a bit different in picks from NEwegg, but to be honest they both look like they have stuff right next to the mounting holes. What the heck are mfg's thinking when they do this.. "Hmm.. 1/2mm from the hole should be just fine for this resistor to be placed... " Duh. DFI does the same thing too.

Anyhow, the SLK comes with some hard rubber washers. I would try mounting the back plate and see if these washers are doing the job of keeping things away from those closely placed components before you mount the heatsink. If things are fine, then you should be good to go.

Good luck.

Tech support at Thermalright told me to use the product specific list which means the 947 won't fit.

Looking at your sig, I see you have the NF7. Thermalright makes custom bolts for that board because of the close components on Version 2.0, and I suspect those will work on the Shuttle. I'm going sent another message to see.
