SLK 947U & NF7-S v.2

[Fern]

Dang, I was getting ready to order a fan for the 947u and I saw somewhere this HS won't fit on my mobo w/o a "NEO Backplate"

Is that right?

Thanks

I didnt buy the Neo backplate. Instead I took the heatsink to a bench grinder and removed the 2 extrusions on the sides of the black plate of the heatsink. Perfect fit now.
BTW, i have that mobo as well.

Thanks, I've got a benchgrinder. When I get home I'll check it out and see if I follow what your saying
