SLK-800 fit on this board?

[hassmh]

Anyone with an SLK-800 that could give a good guess whether it would fit on this board? The caps are a little tight at the bottom, but seeing how the SLK is big in the other direction, it looks to me like it might fit. But maybe I'm just being hopeful

More pics here if it helps.

I'm not buying the board (if I do) for a few weeks, but I may be getting the SLK-800 soon.

darn cant remember where but I read a review on the SLK800 somewhere that used a board like that and they said it fit but they had to slightly bend those capacitors next to the socket ...I have the SLK800 and its on a A7V-266-e and fits ok but I dont have those capacitors next to socket...

Just curious as to what you are getting for temps with that HSF combo because I am running an almost identical setup to yours and just purchased an slk-800. Just wondering what I have to look forward too. Thanks,

Well right now in gettn like 42 idle and 45 load but i think it has alot to do with my room temps...when it was colder outside a week ago I was gettn 38-40 idle and 42 load...Im replacing my fam also currently I use a Emermax80mm adjustable and on high it pushes 39cfm @ 32db ...I ordered a Mechatronics(think thats right) 80mm thats 53cfm @ 39db...I think thats gona make temp better I hope should be here today ill post back when I get it ..

Hmm, not too big on bending caps, but I suppose if that's what it takes.... From the reviews I've seen the SLK-800 would be the best air cooler I could get. I suppose the worst could happen is it won't fit and I have to go with water

Thanks, i'm really looking forward to this new setup. Right now I'm running a Volcano 7 and my temps are in the high 50's under load and only drop to 48-50 while I'm idle.

I've got a Volcano 7, too. Low 50s under load for me, but when I upgrade to a 2600 I'll need something a little better, which is why I'm looking at the SLK. Where'd you get yours and how much? I'm looking for a deal on one, the SVC deal in Cyberdeals is out of stock, don't know if anyone else has a deal going.

It should fit without much problem.


I think...

The socket layout is the same as on the Ax7-333 (cam at top) and the fins will hang over either side (where that board apears to have plenty of clearance) should be no problem. Something like the AX-7 might have trouble b/c the fins hang over on all 4 sides,. . .

 

[hassmh]

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. Thanks for the input, now I just have to find a good price on the SLK-800!
