If you click on the link at the bottom "how to install" you are taken to: http://www.zalmantech.com/ From the main page, click "How to Install" on the left and then click ZM-NB47J in the drop down menu. Since I've got no experience with the ZM-NB47J, hopefully someone will come along that's used it and post their experience. Or you might want to post at Abit's nVidia-based motherboard page in their forum at http://forum.abit-usa.com (or even just search around and see if someone has already used one of these guys). Alternatively, check the measurements of the cooler very carefully to ensure that it doesn't collide with any other component on the motherboard. I think I'll be doing the same when I get time -- anything to quiet the jet engine roar of my desktop system would be more than welcome. Jef |

I could not determine the shipping charges at CoolerGuys... and, since I usually get orders the day after they're shipped (I'm located about 20 miles from their warehouse), I ordered from Newegg. Link: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...118-214&depa=0 US$4.99 plus $4.99 FedEX Saver Shipping (plus sales tax for me). Jef |

Are you sure it will fit the NF7 Ver 2.0 ? I think I have plenty of room for it. It should sure be quieter with no fan. John |

I think it'll work with every member of the family (with maybe the exception of the NF7-M, which has on-board video... with the Zalman cooler not being recommended for boards with such). Jef |
