The NF7-S2 has FanEQ (http://www.abit-usa.com/technology/faneq.php) but that is the only difference I know off hand.

Thanx hope other people can help

Most people will agree that the NF7-S v2.0 would be the best choice.

[DarkNess4Ever]

Why is that fan loud racer II? Also i looked at that video card but there is no way i can get it right now cause around $300 is all i can spend on video so sry would be nice but not at the moment.

thanx neway

That heatsink/fan is loud because for it to cool well it must be run at full speed. At full speed it is rated at 48dBa which is quite loud.

[DarkNess4Ever]

OIC well thanks what fan you recommend?

[racer II]

What the hell is up with that anti spam thing , i cant even give him a reply :angry:

:edit: sure now it works :01:
i can recommend you the zalman 7000cu or the thermalright sp97 , but dont get the delta fan with the sp97 (55dba)

The zalman needs a little mod before it will fit the nf7s

Well ok thank you
