SP97 too tight?

[SilverJag]

Hey all,

My friend bought the 947U on a A7N8X-E Deluxe and he said it was a bit to big for the board. Since the 97 is bigger, will it fit a A7N8X-E Deluxe, AMD 2500M?

I have a 947u on an E-Deluxe now and it fits fine. Maybe he put it on wrong?

With my older case the power supply unit begins right at the edge of my mobo. I have been looking at buying an SP-97, but I noticed from pictures that the heatsink and fan clips rest beyond the edge of the mobo so if that is the case(no pun intended) then the SP-97 and the SLK heatsinks won't fit for me. I will probably buy a new case because I need better airflow anyway.

According to http://www.thermalright.com the SP-97 will fit an A7N8X-E Deluxe. Also, I have an SLK-947U with an A7N8X Deluxe Rev 2.0 and it fits fine.

Ok thanks, my friend must have made a mistake.
