best clip on heatsink??


I'm gonna get a DFI ultra Infinity and a friend of mine has 1. It states right in the amendum not to use a bolt on heatsink. I have only used slk900U bolt ons on my systems and dont know what may give the best results in a clip on. Any advice would help

well i have a friend with 1 and there are resistors i guess you would call them on the board in the way of the holes.(go figure) that get pinched if you use a bolt on, thus those studs wouldnt really be the right hieght and there is a paper that comes with the board saying not to use the holes. Ty for the info i'll read the sticky
