heatsink for NF7-S

[Seraphim974]

I was just wondering what kind of heatsinks people had on their abit NF7-S v2s because I was about to get a Thermalright SP-97 with a Panaflo but the Thermalright website apparently says that the heatsink won't work with the mobo. What are some high quality heatsinks that you people are using on your NF7-Ss?

the best heatsink for the nf7 sries is the slk-900a, its easy to attach and is very compatabke

i'm currently using a Swiftech MCX-462-V heatsink on my cpu, great for ocing.

Thermalrights site says the sp97 is compatible with the nf7/-s. Where did you see otherwise? And its the best aircooling solution right now.

compatible with both rev 1.2 and rev 2.0 of nf7-s board

if you go to info on the toolbar to the left on the thermalright website and go to info on the SP-97 , there is a question in the FAQ(the first question i believe) that says "will this heatsink work with my socket A motherboard?" well it says, for the SP-97 that if the UMG-947U (err something) works with your mobo then the SP-97 will work with your mobo. Well i checked out that 974U's motherboard compatibility list and it said Abit Nf7-S v2 NO. well that is kinda contradicting the compatibility list for the SP-97 which says that the NF7-S v2 WILL work and chances are that the SP-97's list is accurate but that is not a chance that i am going to take (unless someone can confirm that it will work on my mobo) but this heatsink costs 52 dollars and for it not to fit would throw me into a fit.

I have an SLK900U and absolute ZERO problems. I dont use the custom standoffs either... I use the ones that came with the heatsink. I dont believe the custom standoffs are actually needed, at least in my case.

Yeap, TR SLR 800/900 series is the way to go.
