[FlyingHamster]

first of all, check out this pic for an idea of how big of a hs/f im talking about:Click Here

ok, that is a pic of the heatsink on my NF7. I had to saw that heatsink in half on my NF7 in order for my SP-97 to fit. my question is, if I put that same hs/f on an infinity, do u think my SP-97 would fit? I dont have my board atm because hell-fire is modding it.

let me know, thanks.

It looks risky, I dont think so but the only way to find out is to try when you get the board back.

could someone with an Infinity and a SP-97 post a pic of what it looks like? does the side wit the heatpipe "loops" face down or up? does it make a difference?

Im pretty sure that it will not fit without any mods. The side with the heatpipes face down, and you may have to relocate the capacitors or move them. You will also need to modify the stock backplate, or get one called a neo backplate from thermalright

ok so the side with the heatpipes face down.. thanks. and yes, I have a neo backplate.

I was told I will have to push the cap that is right next to the psu out of the way for it to fit. is that what u meant?

my friend has that heatsink, the pipes touch the caps, thats about it it fits in fine just a little tight

less than my prometeia pressing against the caps
