SLK-900A fit on NF7-S?

As above. Thermalright's Mobo Compatibility Page says it does. I want to hear it from one of you. I'm worried about the NB HSF, as seen in this pic. PIC It's just a wee bit close to the socket. The 900 is a monster. I just ordered one. Before pulling the trigger and getting the board, I want to make sure it will fit w/o any issues.

I have a sp-97 on mine and it fits fine.
I would think they would be comparable.

Thanks, Crazydood. I don't know what an SP-97 is, but I'd imagine it's BIG...

i have a slk-800a with a lot of room left, i would imagine that a slk900a would fit

SP-97 is similar to SL-900A except is a heatpipe design.

Wow...that article is interesting. I'd never even HEARD of a SP94...it does rank higher than the SLK900 in that review. From what I remembered, the SLK900 was THE Socket A HS to have, especially for low-noise, overclocking situations.

I know the SLK900 is considerably better than the AX-7 I'm using now. I also will be running a 92mm, 48cfm fan, vs a 80mm, 32cfm fan, which should make a big difference. Thanks for the link, though. I think I'm good to go.
