Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu and ABIT NF7-S

[Dergrin]

I stumbled upon a site that says these two are incompatible. Is this true?

Also do you know how much the heatsink would hang over the edge of the motherboard?

hate to thread steal but i have a similair question and dont want to make another thread about it.

i have a shuttle as45gt which is a socket 478 p4 mobo

in the compatibility list it states that the as45gt-r isn't compatible but is the as45gt ?
i would hate to buy it just to find out that it doesnt fit

I think its a problem with capacitors. I instead went with a Thermalright SLK947U which I ended up having to mill off the 2 extrusions on the black bracket thing cause of the caps. SLK 900U is supposed to fit no problem.

They're compatible or not, depending on how you look at it.
If you just try to put it on, it won't fit. However, if you hack off some part of the HSF which is used for mounting on S754 boards, it fits, with the disadvantage of not being able to move it to a S754 board later. Dunno what exactly you have to hack off though, I don't actually have one.

Actually I found a site that said the only reason it was inconpatible was it didnt have the 4 mounting holes for the heatsink, but not the newer ones do and Zalman just hasn't updated their list.
