DUDE ! ! !!

where did you get the slk-947 from ? an how did you manage to fit it to your mobo? I thought the 947 were only for the intel P4??

nice job btw.

[dippy_skoodlez]

No.. they are on heatsinkfactory.com just came out.. Im ordering it soon.. my mobo has mounting holes atleast.. it says it should work on AMD's.. they just expanded the base so it fully covers CPU's with an IHS.

[RedDawg41]

This may not be the same 947u that I inicially saw on a review site... the 947u has heat tranfer pipes built into the base and onto the fins. the one on heatsink factory doesn't show the pipes. just so you know.

[RedDawg41]

never mind.... the model I got fused with is the new
SP-94

50$ athlon 1700+ JIUHB 0251

ummm a whole lot for watercooling. Around 400$ (after more math... closer to 450$ now)

[RedDawg41]

I already have a slk900u... so, I'll take the wait and see advise and wait for the sp-94 to come to the AMD mobos.... that's a cooler to be reckoned with ! ! !
