slk800(A) or slk800(u)

[fiji]

ok i was wondering which should i get?

are the temps very diff?
and yea thats really all im worried about

and im getting a nf7-s v2.0

 

[Cheesy Peas]

no, the temps arent different, its just the mounting device it uses.
The A uses the 3(6) socket lugs and the U uses the for holes and a backplate.
The U version was only made so that P4 uses could use it safely.
The SLK800U Fits on the NF7S V2.0 no problems also.(only the v2.0 though, 1.2 need customising)

 

[fiji]

so... which should i get?

 

[Super Nintendo]

either one, they both work as you can see what cheesy peas says. Just then the slk800 A because its for amd but either one works if you got the ABIT NF7S v2.0.

 

[Cheesy Peas]

so... which should i get?

which one do you want?
They have the same performance.

SOO hard!! can't decide, im not decisive

i have no decision making skills

Get the U

Get the U version since it works for your socket and Socket 478, it's more flexible. You or someone you know may have a use for the P4 functionality someday.

ill right, ill go with the U thanks!

 

[xcelerator]

get the SLK800U fits tighter than the SLK800A...sometime the SLK800A gets loose fittings on my mobo..so it restarts it self sometimes so I suggest get the SLK800U.....

 

[nerdlogic]

I would suggest the 800U because it is mounted on your motherboard more securely.

I am looking at the same decision, U or A, to upgrade from my merely adequate Volcano 9. My only concern is even thought the A7N8X has the mounting holes, will the SLK800(U) actually fit on this board? I know the SLK900 will not. Anyone know if the U-version will fit on it?

 

[fiji]

im pretty sure it will fit

The SLK-800 is significantly smaller than the SLK-900 so I'd have to say most likely. The only HS that really has problems fitting on motherboards is the SLK-900.

 

[Jibjo]

Great thanks for the replies. I'm trying to upgrade my way to another puter and I'm starting with the HSF and mem.

 

[AMDNightmare]

temps are same.. I think it is easier to clip onto my motherboard and not to bolt down.

 

[bafbrian]

I think that U version is better because I my experience, you have a less chance of crushing AMD cores.

 

[bafbrian]

Oh and pus you can even use it on a P4, so you kinda get two HS's for both Procs.
