MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R heatsink mounting help

[WildT]

Looking into picking this board up and was wondering if anyone knew if there are holes in it for mounting the heatsink (ie. thermalright slk-948U) or if it only accepted clip on's (zalman 7000a'ish). Thanks for the help and please recommend any others you feel are better than these.

Try www.newegg.com , browse their products to find that board, and then check out the pictures they have. Or the MSI website too. You might find a good picture or diagram to asnwer your question.

Thanks for the reply..looked at pics of mobo and didnt see any holes for hs mounting. went to thermalright's website and it turns out that the slk-948u mounts two diff ways. one bolts through mobo, and the other by clips (pent vs amd64). thanks again.

It's on their list of supported boards so I'm sure that there are mounting holes.
