IS the Thermalright SLK-947U ok with ABIT NF7-S Revision 2.0

[Uberdude]

I was very intrigued by the overclocker system in Anandtech buyer's guide and want to build the system. However when I checked the page thermalright compatibilty page
it states that the heatsink won't fit with the mobo Abit NF7-S rev 2, yet this is the setup in the article. What gives?
Can anyone tell me if it will work and also if I need to buy a cpu fan as well, and if so, which one? Also any thoughts on the system and stated ?

Thanks

mine fit also.. Just to make sure I took it downstairs to my bench grinder and shaved a little off.

I had to take mine to a machine shop at work and shave off the little 1mm projections on the sides of the black frame. Now it fits perfectly. Otherwise, the top capacitor would get bent a little becuase of the projection on the frame

Thanks all. I hope I don't have to modify it since I went with the first posts and ordered it. Any good advice or links for overclocking the AMD 2500+XP. Also does the fan sit on top? I'm it fairly self explanatory.
