Zalman 7k,NF7-S v2, installs in LX-6A19 case?

Will I have a problem installing this combo? I know about the mods to make the Zalman 7000 work on the mobo... I mean, will this fit ok in the case? Has anyone got this configuration?

I dont' really remember which ABIT mobo it was but I think you have to modify the zalman heatsink to fit it.

Something about cut or shaving off a metal part of it.

do a search you'll come up with it.

But if you're going to spend that type of money why not spend a little more and go with a Thermalright SP-97 which outerperforms the Zalman

And in the same price range the Thermalright SLK-900, theres a review on this comparing it to the Zalman, and it beats it by a slim margin.

www.svc.com sells both for very good prices.

I know how to do it. I know the mods. That was what I was saying

SP-97, main reason I'm thinkin for the Zalman 7k is it's silent. SP-97 can't be decoupled as well, is a LOT more heavy... posing a greater risk to the CPU when moving case, and is more expensive.

My Question here is not about cooling. My question is: Does the NF7-S w/Zalman 7k FIT in the LX-6A19 case or does it hit the PSU or otherwise not fit.

I had a very similar question with my Antec SLK3700AMB which is identical internally to the LX-CA19. According to this thread it will fit in a similar setup in a Sonata with about 5mm clearance, and the AMB is roomier (higher), so when I (finally) get round to doing the installation, I don't think there should be any problems.

There's a picture of a 7000A installed on that very motherboard here. I wouldn't advise copying this guy's PSU mods though...

Hmm... I still would feel better to hear it from someone who's done it. Good picture tho, does show what problem we're dealing with here.

I'd call this an "Outlived by your computer" mod.

Let's hope it fits... I'm gonna be ordering pretty soon.
