SLK-947 at a sweet price!

At www.svc.com:

"Thermalright SLK-947(u) Bolt On Socket A and Pentium 4 Heatsink
Due to popular demand, the 947(u) is available for $19.99 with no limit
on quantity. Get yours while you still can!"

Kind of wierd for my first post, but I love this heatsink for the price. And this site, and all the great users on it, have helped me with building my first 2 machines. So, I thought I'd post to share some recent info for anyone looking for a new heatsink.

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!


And wow...that is one steal of a deal. Maybe I should replace my SLK-900a? Would it be worth it?

I thought they were the same heatsink?

Thanks for the welcome.

It's a really good heatsink for my Barton 2500+ (although, admittedly, I don't have it overclocked too much). My first build I started with a Thermaltake Silent Boost. I figured it would be easier to deal with a fan/sink combo for my first time. And it worked OK, but once I did my second build with the SLK-047U and a panaflo fan (thanks to the recommendations of users in the forums), it was a really big difference (and ironically, less noisy then the "Silent Boost"--to me anyway.) Dropped my temps about 5 degrees at full load.

The primary difference is that the 900 uses clips, while the 947 bolts on. In terms of performance, they're roughly equal.

Ah crap, of all the days I have to be $10 short...

Hello

Wellcome to the forum. I bought the SLK-947, 2-months and it works fine with mine, I am running my [email protected] and temps are:
37-40C CPU / 36-40C Chipset. It was a pain to put in because you need to get the mobo out though. It is big and it looks good, and I have a nice 92mm Tornado in it.
I just ordered another one today for a new PC I am building.


Thanks

Daniel

tis why i keep $100 cash as often as possible. (hard to do when it takes 6 months to make $100)

that way, when a good deal comes around, i can jump on it. Sadly, i dont have a need for such a heatsink...just a stock 900mhz compatable hsf. poo.

i wonder how well it would stand up to my sp-97? maybe a test is a good reason...but what would i do with it then?

It's slightly inferior to the SP97, from reviews I've read. The problem with this HS is that, because of its 947U(niveral) gargantuan base, it doesn't fit a lot of motherboards.

ARGH! Just days ago I spent $29 at SVC! The next thing I know Memory will go down in price by 33%.

 

[Como]

wow, and to think i paid $55 for my sp-97. well, thats what you get....

 

[Prisoner1138]

WOOHOO, I was dusting my desk and found $15 stashed under my monitor with just enough time to run to the bank and deposit it.

mmmk. Maybe i should stash some of my sisters money under my monitor...and find it when i move! lol
