Before I buy this, someone look over it

I accidently bought a abit nf7-s2 instead of the nf7-s revision 2. Ya I know really sux. Anyways, this site lists it as nf7-v2, and Im just wondering if it is the same thing as the nf7s-v2. Here is the link, thanks for the favor:

SEND THE S-2 BACK!!!!! You want, no you need the nf7s v2!.

I bought it at zipzoomfly, and I really was confused. I think it is a valid reason. cmon nf7s2 and revision 2 is very similar. Doubt they'll refund it though. But, Im just making sure Im looking at the right thing this time. Am I?

Agreed.

be prepared to have the Northbridge fan die on you, though... but a $5 Zalman heatsink takes care of things...

No kidding.
I think everybody's fan dies in less than a year.
Mine only lasted a couple months.

You still got the good version of the board. You just got the crappy onboard sound. I have the exact same board and it runs great.

Knowing that ahead of time, I bought one, but it won't fit with my slk. I guess I'll eventually have to buy the vantec nb cooler that looks exactly like the stock.

they did the same with the KW7... not overclocker friendly at all. 🙁
