CPU Heatskin/Northbridge Heatsink on NF7-S v2.0

[anthonyi]

Does anybody have a Thermalright SLK-900U CPU cooler and a Zalman ZM-NB32J nbridge cooler fitted to a rev 2.0 NF7-S? Is there any modification required to have these two coolers in place or are there sufficient clearances such that one doesn't impact the other?

TIA...

The NB47-J is a newer version of the chipset cooler. It comes with some advanced small parts, so that mounting should be no problem. I have heard that it works fine on NF7.

I use the socketA version of zalman 7000cu on my abit nf7. It was necessary though for me to cut a part of the rail screwed on the 2 bridges, because the rail would else hit some capacitors. The 2 bridges or standpoints are mounted in the 4 holes around the socket.

I use this cooler with a barton 2500+, at 11x190, at standard voltage. I have also the NB47 on stock, but have not mounted it yet. It _is_ necessary to take the motherboard out of the cabinet to dismount the actice fan, and mount the passive, and also the cpu fan mounting took some time !

best regards
