NEW!! ThermalRight SLK-947U

slater3333uk · Sep 3, 2003

Hey i just saw thermalright have a new hsink out

looks like they have made a few revisons to the base so it will cover the whole P4 Integrated Heat Spreader and it says that its smaller at the base so it will fit some mobos which had a problems with the slk-900

Anyone have anymore info on this??

so it will fit some mobos which had a problems with the slk-900

Hopefully it'll work with Abit's KX7-333 board

If indeed it does, I better start saving money...anyone heard of any retailers that might have it in the UK? (and the UK price as well?)

slater3333uk · Sep 3, 2003

Well the only online retailer who i know of who sells thermalright hsinks in the uk is www.overclockers.co.uk so maybe they will sell them. I bet your talking over £50 for one tho

sweet...wish I didn't just buy the 800U!!

cherryp00t · Sep 3, 2003

the 800U and the 947U is a big difference in price for a small difference in performance i dont see why you're so disappointed

I thought thermalright also had a new one with heatpipes on it? Anyone see that one?

Mystypiy · Sep 3, 2003

It seems almost identical to the slk-900A/U heatsink.... I'm surprised that they didn't do a bit more to change it since they were gonna come out with a whole nother product.

The heatpipe heatsink is only for p4s but it suppose to perform quite well hehe

dippy_skoodlez · Sep 3, 2003

Hmm.. on xoxide.com its $48 for the 800U, and the 947 is $47 at THF.com hm.. Looks like I know what im getting.. now I just gotta get a better mobo....

what is the performance gain going to be compared to a 900U?

sandrock · Sep 3, 2003

There's probably going to be little increase in performance, if any at all, over a 900. From the looks of it, they just made this "version" of a 900 to be a little smaller in some places and compatible with more motherboards.

gamefoo21 · Sep 4, 2003

it has the same mass and the mounting system has been changed a little from what i've read.

It sounds like it'll be insignificant (fractions of a degree) for AMD systems, possibly a few degrees for Intel.

slater3333uk · Sep 4, 2003

I think carnil is right it looks like the revisions that have been made are to make it slighly easyer to fit and maybe a bit better on p4. Theres no real reason to expect better performance

Nebulous · Sep 4, 2003

Looks identical to my 900U

Amorphus · Sep 4, 2003

look closer. see, theres a slight two-degree change in the angle of that fin to allow for better clearance on some motherboards....

OC-overkill · Sep 4, 2003

According to their website, the SLK900 is L99 x W59 x H45 (mm) Top, without fan while the slk947 is L96 x W86 x H45 (mm) Fin only, without fan. I had the slk900 and even with a 80mm fan, it hangs over the sides. If the width of the slk947 is 86mm, then most of the air coming from a 92mm fan should help cool the hs, which was not the case for the slk900. Does this translate to better cooling? Hopefully oc will review it soon to let us know.

Will it fit the max 3?
