So I saw the Heatsink thread regaurding k7d master, and I didn't want to post since this is a bit off topic, but what's THE best that will fit?

I wanted 2x slk900Us with 2x 92 MM tornados, but those won't fit. I made a thread in cooling, but they all suggested Slk900Us even though I stated that I needed to know the best that would fit with the k7d master :rolleyes:

Anyhow, I need to know, THE best heatsink, price, size, and loudness be damned. Yes, it has to be AIR, I mucked around enough with watercooling, I won't be setting that up for this rig just yet. Ideally I want a NICE heatsink with 2x 92MM Screamers on there :cool:

Let me know, Thanks

With 92MM Fans? Do they take 92MM? Any idea of where-in-the-heck I can buy an SLK-800?

Also, I'm the one in current posession of your board :D It got traded down to me.


slk800s will take 80mm fans ,


92mm fans will only work if you use them diagonally ,

Negative.

SLK900A also fits (not the 900U) - but only if you use 80mm fans.
ALX-800 probably fits since its more or less the same size as slk-800A.

I have 80mm fans on my k7d and they are touching each other so I would say 92mm fans in the standard orientation would be impossible. I remember someone managed it by rotating both fans by 45 degrees - but then you have to figure out how to attach them to the heatsink.

(Feel free to guinea pig the Si-97 and let me know)
