I found the passive Zalman's to work just fine on the NF7-S NB...just make
sure there's airflow through the case.

It was a relief to lose the stock Abit cooler's fan noise!

I disconnected the HSF months ago because it was prodicing horrible
noise.
My machine is on DDR333 FSB and I had no problems yet. I should replace
the
vent (still under warranty), but I still don't feel like tearing the
whole
computer apart just to fix this, neither can I miss my machine for a
week -
that's how long it would take for a dealer to replace it.


Hi,
that handy to know, as the standard NB-HSF is not that good. I just it
off
the NF7-S and took it apart, lapped it etc and re-installed it using some
Arctic Compound. I think a passive Zalman may be a good option. . .
